Resolving gastro: Simplify his diet for a few days. Encourage hydration primarily with water, avoid juices and take it easy on milk for a period of time. Focus on foods that are easy to digest - plain oatmeal or oat cereal, apple sauce, dry toast, mashed potatoes without the butter/cream etc. That should help his poops become more formed while the gut is healing from being sick.
