Poor Nala! It sounds like she really needs to be examined by a veterinarian to get this issue resolved. Nala may have an intestinal parasite so it's important that you bring a fecal sample to the veterinarian to have it checked for parasites. I'm concerned hag Nala may end up getting dehydrated if she does not receive treatment for the diarrhea soon. Your veterinarian may prescribe medications to treat the diarrhea or a prescription bland diet to get Nala feeling better.
