You could try to see wether a bland diet of boiled chicken and rice helps his tummy settling. You could also buy some probiotics on line, for example Protexin Prokolin to be used for up to 5 days. Hopefully Pocholo is fully vaccinated so there are no concerns about it being a serious condition. However if the diarrhoea persists for more than too day or it is very profuse within the first day, I would recommend a vet check up. Considering his age, a feacal test to check for parasites would also be indicated.
