I am sorry to hear about Ruby. If she is active and eating and drinking normally with no vomiting, I would recommend dropping a stool sample off at your vet's office to check for intestinal parasites like worms, giardia and coccidia as these are all common in puppies and can cause diarrhea. The vet may want to go ahead and deworm the puppy to be safe. I would also consider starting a probiotic such as Purina FortiFlora which can help replenish the natural healthy bacteria found in the GI tract which can sometimes be lost due to disease.
