Good that everything came back normal, except phosphate which it appears he suggests treating with diet change... You ask for food suggestions -- did the vet have any he recommended? Something to ask when you call him about the diarrhea. Don't put off calling him long about the diarrhea -- especially if it is chronic. She can become dehydrated.

I wouldn't worry overmuch until you talk to him. He may have some ideas and anticipated diarrhea (maybe from diet change). He's already let you know everything pretty much came back OK. One thing that causes diarrhea is diet change and it sounds like you put out two pouches of new different foods for her to try... One thing you'll want to do is get her on a steady diet once she likes something and slowly introduce any food changes (mixing old with new when it comes to dry). Steady diets of the same food = less diarrhea.

Working w/your vet on her changes will be the quickest way to resolve this. Hopefully he will have some diet suggestions for you when you call about the diarrhea.
