boiled rice and natural yogurt works a treat mix a spoonful with the rice

[Cochyn]

Do a search for a thread called 'two bob bits' . Should be some useful stuff in that.

[shannon1970]

rice and chicken or chicken carcasses

[TOPPER]

naturel yogurt is all you need feed it about an hour before you feed the dog

[Cold Ethyl]

DONT give your dog immodium ive done it myself till vets told me theres something in it that can cause fits in dogs try dioralyte to make sure its getting fluids and the electolytes it needs and a raw egg whisked up helps bind them.If no change in a day vets mate.

Have you fed anything different ie liver or other offal? Black stools is often due to high iron content from liver or hearts etc or in the worse case digested blood from an upper gi bleed. I'd with hold food for 24 hours, give water then a bland diet for the next 24. If not improving vets, if looking out of sorts vets, if not sure vets.

If there is a stomach bug then avoid dairy products like yougurt. Bones may cause constipation that can mask the symptoms you need to monitor.
