If he is otherwise well this may just be a temporary upset from something he ate. I recommend you monitor closely and feed small, bland meals of an intestinal diet or boiled chicken and rice for 24-48hrs. Blood tests may be required if persistent to investigate underlying causes such as liver or bowel issues
