You need to get a stool sample to your Vet, these little guys can get coccidia, it is a parasite that multiplies during stress, it smells really bad, if that is what he has, he needs to be on a sulfur drug. He could also have giardia, metronidazole will clear that up. If their is any blood he needs to be on an antibiotic. So get your little guy to the Vet and get the proper amount of medicine he needs to clear him up. He could probably use a little butt cream, as his little butt probably is sore from his diarrhea. Keep us posted as to how he is doing, and remember these little guys can go down fast, and can come back fast. Make sure you keep his blood sugar level, Nutria Cal, 3 times a day. A stool sample is necessary to detrime what the cause of his diarrhea is from.

Good luck, and remember tomorrow is Sat so try to have the stool sample early in the morning as all Vets here close at noon.
