Bella is very sick. With this kind of explosive diarrhea, she could become dehydrated very quickly. She needs to see a vet who may want to do tests on her diarrhea to figure out what is causing it. She may need to be dewormed, or be on oral antibiotics like metronidazole to cure the diarrhea. Hope that helps!
