It sounds like your pup need to go the veterinarian. Diarrhea lasting longer than 48hrs often causes changes in the bacteria flora which will continue the diarrhea regardless of the initial cause. There are many causes of diarrhea and he most common are worms, giardia and bacterial infections. Continue the bland diet and take in a still sample for your pet into your visit. I hope Pickles starts feeling better quickly and please feel free to post any additional questions.
