Answer
Hi Vickie!

Poor pooch!  Just keep the food level down, if you don't see any improvement in 2-3 days, call the vet. Foreign bodies that you don't go in surgically for take time.  Keep an eye on the poop!;)

Do not feed anything else other than the rice diet. You CAN ask you vet if you can do cottage cheese and rice diet or baby food (turkey) and rice diet.

Good luck
