I would suffice it to say it to be pretty obvious *one or the other caused the digestive/intestinal upset.
*I doubt it was the peas.
My suggestion would be to give an anti diarrhea such as Pepto Bismol or Kao-Pectate. Either can be given
QID (4x a day) or as needed. I would start with 3-4 X. Only feed formula and block and always give extra
hydration to flush his system to prevent dehydration which can be caused by diarrhea.
