Poor Jack! Diarrhea medications generally work pretty fast, usually 12-24 hours later the pets are noticeably improved. Feeding a bland diet can help as well. Make sure to keep Jack's veterinarian updated and informed on his condition. I hope he feels better quickly and please feel free to post any additional questions.
