Without actually examining the puppy, it is difficult to know the cause and the best way to treat. If he is otherwise acting normal then you can monitor him and see if it resolves. Otherwise, he needs to be examined by a vet to determine the cause and treat. He could have a parasite, infection, or a congenital malformation.
