My puppy seems too weak. He has been having black stooland a bad stomach despite taking good care of him. We guessed that he keeps eating eaten something on his own like mid etc due to which he falls sick. Pleas help us keep him healthy by prescribing a good diet and also which would help him gain some weight.

Black stool and extreme weakness are concerning symptoms that are an emergency and require veterinary care, especially in a young puppy. It would be best to bring Aura into your vet immediately for an exam and treatment.
