Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Diarrhea can occur from many gastrointestinal conditions like tape worms or other parasites as you mentioned. Other possibilities include dietary indiscretion, inflammatory bowel disease, among others. I recommend that you have Oliver evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Worms are easily treatable and treatment can result in resolution of diarrhea relatively quickly. I hope that Oliver gets all better quickly!
