Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor May! Causes of diarrhea in a puppy are: intestinal parasites, viral or bacterial infections, dietary indiscretion, pancreatitis, toxin ingestion, reaction to a new treat/food.human food or an allergy to her current food. I would start a bland diet of boiled chicken or hamburger with rice. Feed 1 cup per 20 lb until 2 normal stools. You can also start a probiotic like Purina Fortiflora or Nutramax Proviable, I would also have her stool check for parasites. If she is not improved by mid next week she needs to be seen. Good luck!
