Sorry I didn't answer that question! This loose stool could be caused by intestinal worms, eating something rotten, a GI illness, a change in diet, or a foreign body. If he only had it once and is otherwise fine, I would not be too concerned about it. Make sure he is up to date on his deworming treatments, giving him one if he's not. I hope this helps!
