Why does my 6-week-old puppy have runny poop after hot dog treats?

Question

Hi there, I just got a new lab puppy, he is six weeks old. I got him Friday and haven't gotten him into the vet due to the long weekend. He's been doing great, sleeps a lot, eats well, plays when he is awake, barely cries at all. However, the past day he has had some runny poop. Sometimes its somewhat solid and other times it is more runny. I just started feeding him hot dog as treats (only like a pea size) every time he goes potty. He gets 1-3 each time. Im wondering if this is causing it. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 13 days old | 10 lbs

If he is not feeling well, I would recommend you have Rosco seen soon by a veterinarian to help determine the cause of his
