Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Diarrhea in a puppy is concerning as it can indicate gastrointestinal infections such as parvovirus which are serious. Other possibilities include intestinal worms or dietary indiscretion, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have Cooper evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment based on findings. At the very least, he can be started on anti-diarrhea medications. Good luck!
