If he had some dairy that may have caused the diarrhea. If he's otherwise acting normally and not vomiting, his appetite is normal and he is active and happy, feed him a bland diet of boiled chicken and white rice for a couple of days. If the diarrhea is not resolving , take him to your vet for an exam. AS for getting an erection while pooping, that sometimes happens when they are straining to poop, which can happen when they have diarrhea because there is an urgency involved. I hope that's helpful for you! thank you for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
