Poor Hershel! It's common for dogs to develop diarrhea if they eat something they are not accustomed to. It's also possible that he could have parasites (such as worms). Aside from being messy, diarrhea can lead to dehydration over time, especially if it is accompanied by vomiting. The bland diet is a great idea, and you can add boiled low-fat chicken breast for additional protein. It would be ideal to have him seen by a vet as soon as possible, especially if he becomes lethargic, continues to vomit, or develops other symptoms. I hope he feels better soon!
