Hello, sorry to hear about Bowser. You can give him a bland diet for 3-5 days to give his GI tract some rest. If it does not resolve, then he may need to have medications to control his diarrhea. This could be caused by a dietary indiscretion, parasites or inflammation of the GI tract. Hope this helps and best of luck.
