If your puppy has not been fully vaccinated I would worry about Parvovirus. Another concern is intestinal parasites. Since it has already been going on for 3 days I would recommend bringing Tye in to see the vet so they can try to figure out what is going on. They can also give him some medication to help stop the diarrhea and can give him fluids if he has become dehydrated from all the diarrhea.
