Thank you for submitting your question regarding Thrasher. I recommend that he sees a veterinarian. He will need fecal testing to look for an intestinal infection. Parasites and bacterial infections are common. Viral diseases tend to make puppies more sick than you have described. If an infection cannot be found, then a dietary change may be recommended. I hope this information helps!
