Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Diarrhea and inappetence can be observed with conditions such as colitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have Rex evaluated by your veterinarian at this time for further assessment and treatment. They may choose to check for parasites and to start medications for diarrhea depending on the results. Good luck! Hoping for a speedy recovery!
