Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. This could potentially be related to a bacterial overgrowth in the intestines so an antibiotic such as metronidazole may prove useful and help resolve the diarrhea. I would recommend initiating a bland diet of chicken and rice and feed this at least 3 days past the resolution of the diarrhea. I would also add in a probiotic such as Purina fortiflora which can be found online quite easily. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
