I am very sorry to hear that Belle is experiencing these problems, I am sure it is very unsettling for you both. There are a number of potential causes of such clinical signs, including pancreatistis, parasite infestation, infection, and ingestion of a toxin or poison. If the episodes continue for 48 hours, if Belles seems weak, dehydrated, in pain, leather fox, or has profuse vomiting and diarrhoea I would take her into the veterinarian. Your vet will be able to perform a physical exam and run diagnostic tests such as bloodwork to determine the cause of belle's diarrhoea. In the meantime you can try boiled chicken breast and white rice diet and provide plenty of fresh water. Boiled skinless sweet potato can also be helpful with diarrhoea. https://www.petcoach.co/article/6-things-you-can-do-at-home-if-your-pet-has-diarrhea I hope that answer was helpful and more importantly that Belle feels better soon. Warmest regards to you both.
