Hi. Poor Marvin. It may be that he has a sensitive stomach, or the food you are feeding. I would recommend Hills puppy, royal canin puppy, or Iams puppy. In addition, you can add boiled rice and a small spoonful of canned pumpkin to his food for a few days. If it doesn't clear, I would follow up with your veterinarian.
