Question

It could be intestinal worms, or it could be something that Bear ate. Make sure he is up to date on his deworming treatments, giving him one if he's not. I can also give you a home remedy for him if he is up to date on his deworming treatments. Withhold food for 8-12 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, he starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.
