Hi, If it is only diarrhea and otherwise Luna is active, no vomiting and eating, I would for now change the her food to a bland diet of boiled chicken breast and rice. It may be worth it to bring a few different samples of her faces so you can bring it with you to the vet appointment. But I suggest you wait with the antibiotics until you discuss it with the vet tomorrow.
