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!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! While not normal, this is not always due to a disease per se in a puppy. Sometimes the consistency is not normal while they adjust to their foods. I would continue monitoring him for now and I recommend you have him evaluated by a veterinarian if they do not become solid over the next few weeks or if they become diarrhea. Best of luck!
