While it's impossible to know for sure (because the underlying cause is not known at this time), if Nipsy is bright, playful, eating well, drinking well and not having any blood in the stool, then these are generally good signs. If Nipsy is depressed, not eating well, not drinking well or has blood in the stool, I recommend to have him examined today. You may feed Nipsy a bland diet which may help with the diarrhea until he is examined. A bland diet can consist of 25% boiled white meat chicken and 75% boiled white rice. This should all be plain. I hope he starts feeling better quickly! Please feel free to post any additional questions.
