Loki and Bella are sick
The other day I came home from work and found that Bella had diarrhea in the bathroom
 It was a huge mess! She seemed fine though, plenty of energy still drinking water; it didn't seem to phase her at all.Her stool went back to normal the next day. Last night Loki is whining (we thought it was just a dog outside like normal) and he had diarrhea all over the floor (that's what we get for not listening!) so we let him out and cleaned up the mess. Fed them this morning as everyone seemed fine. Loki and Bella run out with diarrhea again We did switch to a new bag of food on Monday, but would it take this long to show signs of illness? Fox seems to be fine though. Besides diarrhea they both are running around not looking like they feel bad at all. I hate to run the vet if it's just a small tummy virus or a food issue, but if it keeps up I'm going to have to

Don't feed them for 24 hrs and then,reintroduce,the food slowly with some pumpking puree(the one that is not used for pie).
This is what I do and it,usually works!.

I didn't have the pumpkin puree, but I reintroduced the food slowly, and I am happy to announce that all stools are firm again
 I'm guessing it was just a bug they picked up and passed around to one another

I would not feed for 24 hours, and then when you start feeding again, plane rice, boiled chicken, an egg.....for a couple days, then start slowly adding their regular food into the rice mixture until they are fully back on their regular food.
Yes this can happen by switching their food, did you gradually change it over or just one food one day and then anouther the next? Maybe that food is no good??? What kind of food is it?

How are they now....still no trots?? I hope not. Is there anyway the bag could have been contaminated by something?? There is no hole or anything in it?
I sure hope it was a bug...
