That could be dietary related or just due to gastrointestinal infection/inflammation. I would recommend a check up at your local veterinarian as antibiotics may be needed. I would suggest as well to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
