Causes for diarrhea could include irritation to something that Luka ate, intestinal parasites, stress, or a tummy bug. I would start by feeding the same formulation of food for 1 week. If he is still having diarrhea off an on in 1 week, it may time to have Luka examined by a veterinarian - take a fresh stool sample with you to the appointment so the vet can test it for intestinal parasties. You can try adding in probiotics. I like this product because it also has some kao pectate that will help with simple diarrhea: ProPectalin AntiDiarrheal Gel for Dogs
