Yes. Watery stool in a puppy is greatly concerning. I would bring your puppy to a vet ASAP as it could be a deadly virus that is best chance ormf survival is early intervention. Try getting solid food in, a high quality canned puppy food. At this age you can start solids. Also deworm your little one. But mainly get it to a vet asap.
