Thank you for submitting your question regarding Trigger. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian. Being such a small dog, I am concerned that he is dehydrated by now. His veterinarian will examine him and determine if testing is needed such as fecal testing and possibly bloodwork. From there, treatment will be started to make him feel better. He may need fluids, anti-nausea medication and/or antibiotics to stop the diarrhea. I hope this information helps!
