Atlas is a great name. If atlas has diarrhea I would recommend making sure he has a fecal exam. A fecal will make sure he does not have parasites. The parasites could be causing diarrhea. Also, I would recommend a bland diet of boiled chicken with white rice for a 1-2 days. If this is not improving than it is important to take him to a vet for a good exam. Hope that helps!
