Thank you for submitting your question regarding Rudy. Yes, I recommend that he sees his veterinarian today. I worry that he is becoming dehydrated from losing so much fluid in his stool. The veterinarian will likely perform some fecal testing and possibly bloodwork to diagnose his condition. From there, treatment can be started to help him feel better. I hope this information helps!
