Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Diarrhea can be observed with conditions such as colitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have Kirah evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They may choose to check for parasites and to start medications for diarrhea depending on the results. You can offer a bland diet composed mainly of chicken, rice, and lean meats like ham and turkey which may help with mild stomach upset. Good luck! Hoping for a speedy recovery!
