Hi there, sorry to hear about poor little Kunnu. Loose stools (pasty consistency) are normal for young puppies. Over feeding as well as parasites can cause very loose stools in young puppies though, some of which they can actually pick up from their mother. I like Esbilac puppy milk for new puppies, which can be ordered on the internet and generally is good on sensitive baby tummies. Is your puppy passing gas regularly? This can also be a problem. Newborn puppies can become very dehydrated quickly if they are not eating properly-if you are very concerned or your puppy is becoming lethargic I encourage you to take him in to see a veterinarian. I hope this helps, my best of luck to you!
