I would bring Joey to a veterinarian. If the diarrhea is that bad he may need medication and they can give you a prescription bland diet. I would then put Joey on a different food after the diarrhea resolves but wean him over the course of a week. Since Joey is only 4 1/2 months old his testicles may still drop. If they do not the only way to remove them is surgery. I would consult with your veterinarian what the cost would be for that. Cost of veterinary medicine is really dependant on area just like with anything else. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach,
