Hello. Sorry to hear about Shiloh's stomach trouble. Going to the vet can be stressful, which can cause early upset, and then eating a lot all at once can upset the gi tract further. I would call your vet and get some medications for diarrhea, but in the meantime you can feed him and tablespoon of yogurt every couple hours and small amounts of food. Try and rest his gut a little until you can get medications.
