Poor pup! This diarrhea could be caused by a GI illness, eating something rotten, intestinal parasites, or a foreign body. Make sure your dog is up to date on his deworming treatments, giving him one if he isn't. If he is up to date on his deworming treatments, I can give you a home remedy to try to see if that helps with his diarrhea. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, he starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away.
