No, lease do not give any over the counter meds and definitely no oatmeal. withhold food for 8 hours and then offer him boneless boiled chicken and rice every 6 hours in small quantities, if the diarrhoea is getting better continue for 2-3 days with this diet. if it is not getting better- take him to the vet to get treated.
