Why does my 8-week-old puppy have diarrhea after chewing rawhide?

Question

Hello, our 8 1/2 week old pup has had some diarrhea this afternoon, can a rawhide bone he's been gnawing on be the cause? I just gave him one today that he loves and isn't eating it but just gnawing and sucking on it. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | unneutered | 2 months old | 88 lbs

That could cause diarrhea depending on if it had any sort of flavoring/coating. With a puppy that young diarrhea could also be caused by G.I. parasites such as roundworms as well as any dietary changes which is common when they go to a new home. Alternatively diarrhea in puppies could be an early sign of parvovirus. If the diarrhea continues, becomes bloody, or Moose stops eating he should go to the veterinarian for exam.
