Why is my young puppy having bloody diarrhea and trouble staying warm?

Question

My 4 week old puppy was weaned too early because the mom had 9 pups, this one was the runt of the litter. She is having watery/runny diarrhea with blood in it, she is having trouble keeping her temperature up because her litter mates are gone. Im trying my best to help her. I was told she is almost 6 weeks when she wasnt and was feeding her soft dog food. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 4 days old

Poor precious. Make sure she is eating about 5-6 small meals a day to help keep her blood sugar up. Since she is having vomiting and diarrhea I would really concerned about her getting dehydrated and weak. She could have something serious going on like parvo virus or a lot of intestinal parasites. I would strongly recommend to get her in to see your vet as soon as possible so they can test her for parvo and worms. They will be able to make sure she has the appropriate medicine to make her feel better and make sure she isn't getting dehydrated.
