Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could have been an isolated episode in which case this is not necessarily a reason to be concerned about. If the diarrhea does not return and she does not develop any other clinical symptoms like vomiting or inappetence, there is no reason to be concerned about this necessarily. Good luck and have a good night!
