it should never be diarea! try a worming pill first. these may cause diarea. i would feed my puppy raw diet as the fresh meat will settle the bouwl. make sure it's compleet and you pup should have firm pooh in a day! don't wait because such a young pup is very quickly dehidrated!

Another thought...... are you feeding the same food as the breeder??? A young puppy can have runny poop from that, and add the stress of coming into a new home....well it could be a possibility!!

The food change will or may give your baby this problem.

Everyone is right...I was also just told by my vet that many pups get parasites even when they're in the womb especially if the mom had it. Parasites will definitely make their poop soft or runny. Meanwhile if you switched food suddenly without slowly weaning their previous food, will also cause diarhea. I slowly introduced mine to raw food and their poop has always been firm and doesn't stink much either.

Hope this helps!

I adopted a stray and he is about a year and a half. We were having problems like yours. She thinks he could have a allergey to food so he is on a prescription food diet - Science Diet Venison and Potato. If you are still have problems you might want to check with your vet.
