Poor Maximus! The diarrhea could be due to many conditions including giardia, bacterial over growth, parasites or other even something more sinister like Addison's Disease. If the diarrhea has continued beyond 24 hours, I recommend to have him examined by the veterinarian. With continued diarrhea, there are often bacterial shifts in the gut that will make matters worse regardless of the initial cause. Make sure to bring in a sample of fresh stool. The doctor will check him for parasites and bacterial over growth. Many times a bland diet can help and then a slow, gradual introduction to the normla food can be done. A good diet in general is Royal Canin. It is low residue and highly digestible. I hope Maximus starts feeling better quickly! Please feel free to post any additional questions!
