This makes accessible more of the firming agent in the rice (and of course give the water too). In this case, I'd blend it up after overcooking, too. JMO!

I too saw the not so little chunks of nylabone in his stool. When I had called the vet regarding it he said that sometimes the shavings/chunks can be very very irritating to a dogs digestive tract and he had seen cases where they caused enough upset to bring on diarrhea. They are pretty rough and sharp even if they are small, alot of them in the stomach at once could cause upset. Try to keep the warm fuzzies, it could just be some irritation. Don't complain....TRAIN!!!

Nothing but rice until we see a log?

Nothing but rice until we see a log? IMO, yes. First day nothing but frequent but tiny snacks of "rice soup" .... then see the poop. I might add a little plain canned pumpkin (not sweet potato) the second day. The big thing is not to add a big meal while his gut is still inflamed and start the diarrhea again. Plus, the rice soup helps with hydration for a dog who has both vomited and had diarrhea. And, just in case ..... I would hate to add a bunch of food behind a blockage that hadn't been seen. (BTW, if he is not drinking enough, you can make baited water ..... give it tepid for rapid absorption into tissues. You might even bait it with a tablespoon of pumpkin mixed in.) Do you know meat-baited water? All JMO!

Tresa Hendrix Webboard User Reg: 05-08-2008 Posts: 1473 Loc: Alaska Offline	Hope he is ok David...I've heard of dogs getting diarrhea from bits of Nyla bones, kongs and stuff...Idk if a high grade less destructible version would be ok for him, some are supposed to be tougher. I know this is irrelevant but kinda funny...Logan has been known to eat pine cones and oddly his stools were amazingly normal. I discovered this when noticed him crying when he was pooping. I saw pine cone spikes and blood...ouch ouch ouch! A tired dog is a good dog, a trained dog is a better dog.
