Well done for phasing out the kibble.
Yes could be that the wet food is too rich for him. Try another wet food. Bozita and Smilla from zooplus are grain free and not dear.
Better still, phase in some raw. I am sure you have read up about it but if you need any more info on the raw diet give me a shout.

It is also possible the diarrhoea and the food change are unrelated. Could be down to a tummy bug or even a parasite.
As Louisa says, you could start introducing some raw, preferably something which contains bone (such as chicken necks or a preground mix). But if you don’t see improvement soon you might want to have him (and a poo sample) checked.
Good luck!

Soooo, decided to move them both onto cooked chicken for a couple of days and, fingers crossed, no diarrhea so far! I came home yesterday evening to a very messy Moto... Just as well he loves having a bath and being dried, but I have my limits lol ;-), hence the change to cooked :-)
Also thought this would be a great way to just move them both onto raw ... phase it back in rather than the wet (just as you said Howlin!). Am sooo excited about them going raw :-)
Let's see how the next few days go.
Thanks everyone for your advice :-))
