There are many potential causes for diarrhea in puppies including parasites, infections, food intolerances and eating something that irritates the intestinal tract. Since she is so young I would recommend that you have Chula seen by your veterinarian as young puppies are at higher risk for becoming dehydrated with diarrhea. Your veterinarian may examine a stool sample and recommend a bland diet consisting of chicken and rice or lean hamburger and rice
