Rocky needs to be eating a bland diet to help stop the diarrhea. You can purchase food for sensitive stomachs or feed boiled chicken and rice for a few days. Since he’s a small, young dog I recommend a fecal exam to check for intestinal parasites, and getting medication from your veterinarian to stop the diarrhea. He could become dehydrated and lethargic if the diarrhea continues. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Rocky.
