Poor girl. Diarrhea at this age can be due to intestinal parasites (i.e. roundworms, hookworms, etc). I would first start with a broad spectrum dewormer from your local pet store. Then you can try a bland diet of boiled plain chicken and rice or cottage cheese for 4-7 days, then slowly transition him back to his normal diet. I would also recommend adding 1-2 tsp of canned pumpkin in his food daily to add fiber and bulk up his stools. And lastly a probiotic (i.e. Culturelle over the counter) for the next week. Hopefully this does the trick! However, if the loose stools don't improve within 3-4 days, or if puppy becomes weak or inappetent at any point, then its best to have him seen by your vet for further evaluation and stronger medication (i.e. antibiotics). I hope that Loli's stools normalize soon! Best wishes and take care.
