For a day now my dog has been defeating more often than usual and it is a light to dark brown varies but like a peanut butter pudding texture. He dosent go outside alone and have norlt seen him eat anything abnormal. He has energy he drinks eats but runs to his litter quite often if anything in his way he might start on floor. His nose is not dry he has no problem walking heart and breathing seem fine but heat gas bubbles in stomach when leaning on him to listen.

Something most likely upset Eevee's stomach. I would recommend a bland diet of boiled chicken and white rice. If the diarrhea doesn't resolve or she doesn't eat, starts vomiting, becomes lethargic or you see blood then I recommend a veterinarian as soon as possible. Also I recommend a veterinarian if the diarrhea has been going on for 3 days or more. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
