I'm wondering if they mean an intestinal parasites. Those can be common in dogs and cause diarrhea. Dogs can get four different types of intestinal worms: Roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms. It is concerning that Pharaoh has been having diarrhea for a while, and whenever a dog has diarrhea longer than 24 hours, it's time to see a vet. Bring along a sample of his feces for the vet to examine for intestinal worms. A lot of times, only the eggs will be shed in the feces indicating worms, and those eggs can only be seen via microscope. I would take him into a vet today. Good luck, I hope this helps!

When my 9 week old puppy goes the bathroom, it starts out normal and then gets runny at the end. She did have roundworms and is going through deworming, not sure if this could be related to that.
