Good transitional food after diarrhea

Question
"I have a 1 year Belgian Tervuren.  She was eating Purina at the breeders and I switched her to Orejin.  She did quite well and suddenly developed diarrhea.  Her white cell count was a bit high so she has been dewormed and on white rice and boiled chicken to brown rice and boiled chicken and now on oatmeal, white and sweet potatoes, boiled chicken, Slippery Elm, Canned Pumpkin, Yogurt, FortaFlora.  We are heading in the right direction but I was wondering what good transitional (healthy) food I can use until I can put her on an organic, healthy diet.  Thank you."


Answer
Hi Pia,

Was a cause for the diarrhea ever ascertained? Are you looking fr a longterm, balanced diet for her or a commercial food to use?
Let me know and I can help more. I support the short term use of a home made bland diet such as you're using, but it is grossly deficient in multiple essential nutrients so I would either have a home made diet formulated or else transition to a kibble asap. I'd incline toward moderate protein from a novel source (duck, fish, venison) and grain free - although rice works well as it is gluten free.
But fill me in a bit more and I'll see what I can suggest.
All the best, Catherine
