Chicken and rice is a common meal for recovering from stomach ailments, regardless of species. Check with a veterinarian for amounts of chicken and rice, length of time to feed, and even preferred recipes for pets. Chicken and rice is sometimes a spring board for delicious combinations, whether with baked chicken and boiled vegetables, or as a stir fry. Boiled rice is covered elsewhere in the cookbook. This dish is easily adjustable. Make notes of favorite combinations to try again. Stir frys can use up bits of leftovers in the fridge, or prepared and frozen in small batches.
