Just offer her water until tomorrow evening, then feed her and see how she goes

Hope she's feeling better soon x

If a dog is having trouble keeping anything down or continuing diarrhea try this out of the manual I have from a large, knowledgeable dog guide school.

Bland recovery diet for dogs.

3 parts cooked rice, one part boiled hamburger or chicken, or cottage cheese. I think you can substitute boiled potatoes for the rice. Once in an emergency, we bought a plain baked potato from Wendy's.

This is meant for short time settling a dog's digestive tract. It is not the complete and balanced diet they need long term. I have seen it work.

In my opinion, nothing for 24 hours (except water, of course) then a bland diet of chicken and rice for 2-3 days.

That should sort it out.

Bless you for rescuing x

If your dog is new to you it could possibly even be the change in water that is causing the problem.
White fish and rice is the best option for a few days until all the stress and changes are settled
Stress is the biggest cause of tummy upset in a new dog
Some dogs don't get on with chicken, so best to avoid this for a while

Good luck.

Hay I would starve to 24 hours, then feed little chicken or white fish for the next 24 hrs in about 6 meals. What are you feeding and what was she on before? Make sure she drinks syringe if needs be I had to do this with suki wen she was spayed she was so knocked out for 2/3 days.
