If you haven't already, bringing in a stool sample of Loki's to your vet is best. Internal parasites are a common cause for intermittent diarrhea, and may also cause them to exhibit strange behaviors such as pica if they aren't getting enough nutrition due to the parasites. A complete exam is also a good idea to make sure there isn't illness or malnutrition causing the problem as well.
