Diarrhea could be caused by parasites, change in diet, toxin ingestion, infectious viral diseases, blockage in the intestines caused by ingestion of a foreign body, or a mass/growth in the gastrointestinal tract. Please make an appointment to have Raider seen by a veterinarian again as soon as possible, as diarrhea like that can lead to dehydration, and can be very dangerous if left untreated. I recommend taking in a fecal sample from Raider to your vet as well, as that may aid them in making a diagnosis. Your vet may recommend bloodwork and/or an ultrasound to help determine why the diarrhea isn't stopping. Good luck, and I hope he feels better soon!
