Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. If he is still eating and energy level is good, I would continue with the bland diet. I would also add in a probiotic such as Purina fortiflora which can be found online or at a pet store. If the diarrhea does not let up and he continues to vomit after another few days or he worsens, I would get him seen by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
