The color change is to be expected with the change in diet. Submit a stool sample to your veterinarian to diagnose intestinal parasites or bacterial overgrowth. Fast Phoenix for 24 hours to give is GI tract a rest. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte to treat or prevent mild dehydration. Resume feeding the bland diet in small, frequent amounts until the stool is normal before transitioning slowly to his regular diet. A veterinary probiotic such as ProViable or FortiFlora may help by promoting gut health. If the diarrhea does not begin to resolve in a day or 2, have Phoenix examined by your veterinarian.
