Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Kisses! My biggest concern is how young and small Kisses is. With severe watery diarrhea she is at an increased risk for dehydration and low blood sugar. Causes of diarrhea in puppies are: intestinal parasites, viral (parvo or distemper) or bacterial infections, dietary indiscretion, food allergy/intolerance, reaction to a new food/treat/table food. Sometime we never know the exact cause. Since she is so young and small I would take her to the Vet today. If you can get a stool sample bring it with you. If she isn't up to date on vaccines they may test her for parvo virus. The Vet can send her home with medications to make her better faster. I hope this helps and I wish Kisses a speedy recovery!

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I'm so sorry Libby isn't feeling well. I do not recommend any over the counter treatments for diarrhea for Libby. It may be helpful to discuss if feeding a prescription gastro intestinal diet would be recommended by her veterinarian. Often it can take time for GI inflammation to resolve and cure diarrhea. But if it is not resolving or has been going on for too long it may be stime to discuss doing further diagnostic testing with her vet. Some dogs may have pancreatic insuffeciency, malabsorption or food allergies that can cause chronic diarrhea. I hope she starts improving soon.
