My puffer had white feces 2 days ago and hasnt been eating. Could this be internal parasites? and if so what is the best cure?

Tonight was the first time hes eaten for about 2 days, i was going to start his treatment first thing tomorrow but im hoping he wont need it, i would hate to stress him out. Thank you for your concern and ill post back tomorrow afternoon to say how hes doing.

My puffer is doing great. Hes completely back to normal and eating as much he normally did. He seems to be very picky as to what he eats, he absolutely refuses to eat shrimp but will race across the tank to get a bite of fresh scallop

I know, its strange that he is that picky, but at least hes doing better. Mabye over time he can start broadening his culinary horizons!
Thank you for the help and the concern.
