Poor Leo! There is so many different things that can cause diarrhea including parasites, parvo, change in food, change in environment, eating something he shouldn't, and much more. You can try to offer some plain boiled chicken (no bones) and rice to see if this settles his tummy. Since he is so small and at high risk to quickly become dehydrated, I would have your vet take a look at him. Your vet will able to do a fecal, parvo test and even blood work or x-rays if needed. Your vet will be able to deworm him and give him fluids if needed and get him started on the proper meds to help him feel better. I hope this helps!
