Thank you for submitting your question regarding Ella. While stress can cause diarrhea, it is unusual for the diarrhea to last so long. I recommend that she sees her veterinarian again. She will likely need fecal testing to determine the cause. From there medications can be prescribed to help her to feel better. I hope this information helps!
