I would recommend that you have Smallz checked out by the vet. A poor appetite and diarrhea can be caused by a number of things, but if he is having that much diarrhea, then he will become dehydrated quickly. The vet will do an exam, discuss his vaccination and medical history, and may recommend diagnostics based on what they suspect is going on.
