Hello and thank you for your post! Sorry to hear Vanilla is dealing with diarrhea. If you are unable to get you your veterinarian, I would consider encouraging more hay intake, vitamin C and a probiotic such as Bene-Bac. If the diarrhea is not improving then I would strongly suggest you drive to the nearest vet clinic. I hope this helps and please feel free to contact me with any further questions / concerns you may have.
