If the medication you applied was meant for a dog then it is probably not the cause of the diarrhea. Intestinal parasites, Parvovirus, and a GI foreign body are the most common causes of diarrhea in a young puppy. I would recommend taking Sona in to your vet to be checked out and to make sure he is up to date on his vaccines. Your vet can also give the puppy something to help stop the diarrhea.
