Poor Elmo! This diarrhea could be caused by GI illness, eating something rotten, a sudden change in diet, a foreign body, or intestinal worms. If he isn't up to date on his deworming treatments, you will need to get one from the vet. Should he be up to date on his deworming treatments, you can try a home remedy before taking him into the vet. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, he starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away.
