Rice and curd are not an appropriate diet for a puppy. This will not provide him with the nutrients he needs to grow correctly. He should be on a puppy formulated food only. Brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. As for the diarrhea, that could be due to his diet. I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps. Withhold food for 6-8 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, he starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away.

    Your puppy needs to be seen by a veterinarian today. Diarrhea and throwing up can be caused by a food sensitivity, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, an intestinal blockage, bacterial infection, viral infection, the weather, food change, stress, etc. A liver disease can also be the cause. Please take your dog to a veterinarian today. The fact that it is winter has nothing to do with the condition of your dog.
