My 10-week puppies are lethargic, wobbly, and have bloody stool. Why?

Question

I have 2 litters of 10 week old pups. Miniature Pinscher & Boxers. All of the pups were doing fine & playing & the next morning 3 of the Min Pins were lethargic, wouldn't open their eyes, passing dark bloody stool and couldn't walk without falling over. The smallest pup died that evening. I gave them Vita-Cal Puppy & Pediatric oral electrolyte soloution all day & night. The next day they're eating but still wobbly. Could this have been caused by the Boxers laying on them? Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Pinscher | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 20 days old | 0.05 lbs

Although trauma is possible, a viral, parasitic or bacterial gastroenteritis would also be possible. Monitor closely for any additional signs or symptoms and contact your vet immediately if any further pups are affected or if any vomiting develops. Be sure to keep up to date with deworming medications and vaccines also
