I would recommend that you have Snappy examined by the vet as soon as possible. The lethargy and dark urine indicate significant dehydration. Chronic diarrhea in a puppy could be caused by intestinal parasites or food intolerance. The sudden change in behavior could just be due to dehydration or it could be an infection, such as a bacteria or virus like Parvovirus. The vet will do an examination and may recommend testing for Parvo and/or intestinal parasites.
