If he has gone several times in 24 hours, I would recommend a vet visit to determine the cause. They may need to check a stool sample for parasites, or run blood work and x-rays to check for other problems. If not, they can at least get Bojangles on some medications to stop the diarrhea and make him more comfortable. Kisses to Bojangles!
