Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Diarrhea can be observed with conditions such as colitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, among many other possibilities. This could of course be due to the calcium supplement. Unless giving this has been directed by a veterinarian, you can start by discontinuing this calcium supplement to see if that is the cause of the diarrhea. She may not need to be on any supplements. Keep in mind that is she is being fed a complete diet, she should not require supplementation. I recommend that you have Lucy evaluated by your veterinarian 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!
