Switching food too quickly can cause digestive upset and diarrhea, so this could be the reason why Rocky isn't doing well. Typically, it takes a transition of 7-9 days to switch foods over to minimize GI upset. There could also be an ingredient in the new food that is not being tolerated well by Rocky. You can try adding in a probiotic if you are still transitioning the food, however if the diarrhea continues it is best to rule out any issues with a checkup by your vet, and to see if switching the food back is needed.
