This morning I realized my ferret had diarrhea, I've been researching all day but I can't find very much and I'm hoping someone on here can give me advise.

-He is eating normally
-I haven't changed his food
-He hasn't been introduced to anything new
-His ferret room mate is doing just fine
-He still has energy
-He doesn't strain to go to the bathroom (A website said this may happen with certain diseases)
-He drinks normal
-He isn't going to the bathroom anymore than usual
-Its not to hot or cold for him (I've been keeping an eye on the temperature in the house since it is warming up outside)

I think that's about it, so as you can see nothing really changed, except the diarrhea, should he go to a vet now? He has an appointment on July 5 Th..

Also when should I take him to the vet (When he stops eating? When he looses energy?)

Thanks in advance

(I added a photo since I know everyone loves to see pictures :) He is about 3 times the size now and its only been a few weeks! )
