Thank you for responding. Sorry for the late response, I've been in bed with a migraine till now...

I already called his regular vet again, and he said if he's drinking and eating (he is), I may just have to wait out the diarrhea. I checked him gums and eyes, he doesn't show signs of dehydration. He is still his regular playful self too...just the very loose/watery stools.

He did not take an x-ray, stating that it's not necessary at this point given his overall wellness otherwise. He also said that an x-ray may not show anything at all if really small.

I've been checking his belly since Monday; it's not distended, is palpable and not painful when I touch it. The vet confirmed same yesterday and was not concerned.
