My puppy has diarrhea, cough, and is scratching. What's wrong?

Question

My puppy is 10 weeks old and we got him last Wednesday. I've been gradually changing his food but he's been having bad diarrhea. Today I only gave him rice and chicken but he is still passing yellow diarrhea. He has also been coughing and sneezing a lot and bitting his leg. He gets his 2nd lot of vaccinations tomorrow so he hasn't been around any dogs. He is still very happy and energetic but he can sometimes get bitty however I think he's just playing. I'm worried there is something wrong. Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 14 days old | 10 lbs

It sounds like Freddie may need to have some deworming done. Great timing, as you have an appointment already booked for tomorrow! Bring with you a stool sample. If there are no parasites in the sample, your vet can help you look into other causes of diarrhea. You can also discuss the coughing and sneezing at your appointment tomorrow. He may have a virus. Your vet might end up putting off the vaccines, if he is unwell, or has a fever. They will check him for fleas as well (due to the scratching). Best of luck at your visit tomorrow!
