Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
No cold does not lead to diarrhea. But the same organism causing cold which is usually viral can also cause diarrhea.
As long as she is active, drinking and eating well, having moist tongue and having good urine output, there is no need to worry.
I hope that answers your question.
Regards,
Dr.R.K
