My puppy has diarrhea and accidents after new food and treats.

Question

Yesterday he had to brown diarrheal accidents in his kennel. He is 4 months old and he has never had accidents in his kennel. He is very good at holding it especially at night when it happened. We changed his food and stated giving him Milk- Bone last week. Since yesterday he hasn't gotten Milk-Bones but he still had a diarrheal accident at night. I don't know what could be wrong with him or if it the food he has been eating and would appreciate any help. Thank you! Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 65 lbs

Diarrhea (and throwing up) can have many causes. It is basically a problem with the stomach and intestines caused by a food over sensitivity, eating something that does not agree with the dog, intestinal parasites, bacterial infection, viral infection, the weather, food change, stress, etc. I would fast Rocky for 12 hours and then feed bland food for a day or two, such as boiled white rice and boiled white boneless chicken meat, fed in small quantities over several feeds and then transition back to his regular food slowly over a few days. If this does not clear up the diarrhea, or if he gets lethargic, he needs to see a veterinarian for an exam as there may be something more serious such as an infection going on.
