Bland treat alternatives* when battling diarrhea?
We just finished our first round of Panacur for Giardia. Benji's stools were looking better for a few days when I was feeding him chicken with broth to get him to take his medicine. After we finished, I started to add regular kibble back in to his diet. We are also crate and leash training right now (we live in the city), so treats are a common reward at the moment.
Well, a day after finishing the first round of Panacur, the diarrhea started back up. It was also about the time I got his favorite cheddar flavored treats in the mail. So I'm not sure if it's just the Giardia or if it's a combination of the kibble and treats or both.
The vet has now put him on a bland-diet, no kibble or treats until the stools are firm again. I have white rice and pumpkin on my grocery list for today, but I'm curious if anyone has any bland treat alternative recommendations while battling this stool problem?
I just bought him a Kong and a bunch of treats that I now can't use to fill it. So I'm wondering if anyone has tried to freeze pumpkin and cottage cheese inside of the Kong? And if that was successful? Any other recommendations?
I'm assuming peanut butter probably isn't a good idea right now since it's not exactly on the bland food list. So I need some creative ideas that don't include this ingredient.
If anyone has any bland baked treat recipes, Please pass them along!
Thanks!
