This could be caused by a bacterial infection, Calli eating something abnormal like table scraps or a food intolerance/allegedly. GI parasites can also cause diarrhea. Some cases do fine with a bland diet and monitoring at home but others can become dehydrated and need further care. If Callie continues to have diarrhea, is not eating and/or drinking, or starts vomiting she needs to be examined by a veterinarian.

This is a quite typical sign of colitis (inflammation of the colon). As a first approach, I would suggest to withhold food for the next 8-12 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.
