Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | 7 months and 7 days old | 25 lbs

I have a 7 month old male cane corso mixed puppy. The past 2 days, going on three, he hasn't really ate much. He drinks here and there. He has lost his energy. He is usually a playful hyper pup. He hasn't been able too poop all day except a darker color liquid feces. He urinated like usual. Idk what to do. Is there any advice you could share with me on pointers on what to do?

At his age, if his vaccines were not completed I would worry about parvo virus. This can cause vomiting and diarrhea with weight loss. Other causes for puppies are eating things they aren’t supposed to that can cause an obstruction Your vet can check for these things to see whatvtreatment is best Until then you can try a bland diet of boiled chicken and rice and chicken broth or pedialyte to help him. You can add canine probiotics to his food to help with the diarrhea
