Gray colored stools: The gray colored stools may be due excessive amounts of milk. It doen't necessitate a visit to the ER unless he is in pain

No need for ER: Based only on the information you provided do not think pt needs ER. I would closely monitor the pt and make an appt with regular doctor in the meantime. If Pt is not bleeding rectally, not vomiiting, not in distress, then there is not reason to take to ER.
