Hello there, is he able to move his back legs at all? And if you gently prop him up on his back legs does he then take his weight and start walking? If he seems unable to use his legs, this could be a problem and I would advise a vet visit asap. Also, if he is abel to walk but i stumbling, he should be examined by a vet. If he is walking ok and fairly bright but has diarrhoea, you could feed him a bland diet only (chicken/rice) for a couple of days, then gradually switch him over to normal food if the diarrhoea has stopped. However if it hasn't or if it gets worse, i'd advise a vet visit. Hope that helps!
