Roxie is adorable! If she is not vomiting and having only occasional diarrhea with no blood or mucous (and if she has no known food sensitivities) you could try feeding plain white rice and boiled chicken breast for the next 24-48 hours to see if her diarrhea resolves. If the diarrhea is getting worse or you notice the signs above you should see a veterinarian. Some dogs have a sensitive stomach and can develop diarrhea when new treats or foods are offered. Puppies are also notorious for eating things outside that could trigger diarrhea. If it seems it is happening frequently you should contact your veterinarian since there are some other diseases that can cause chronic intermittent diarrhea. If she has not had a stool sample checked recently it also might be worthwhile to take a sample to your veterinarian to rule out parasites.
