My 6-month Yorkie puppy has frequent watery poop. Is it diarrhea?

Hi there. I have a male Yorkie puppy about 6months old. He’s been pooing multiple times a day for the past 3 days. Sometimes it’s soft and normal looking, green/brown in colour and other times is very watery, also green/brown and very smelly. My concern is the number of times he’s pooing. It’s about 7 times a day, some normal and some very watery. He’s been chewing on literally everything and his “baby teeth” seem to have fallen out.

It could be that Blaze is suffering from diarrhea. Make sure he is up to date on his deworming treatments, giving him one if he's not. I can also give you a home remedy for him. 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. Best of luck.
