Hello. I am glad that Miki is feeling well, but you should get to the reason for the diarrhea. Most often in puppies, this is due to intestinal parasites. You may not see anything as they are usually microscopic. Have a sample of Miki's stool examined by your veterinarian to make sure he is as healthy as possible. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
