My puppies have diarrhea and a possible bladder infection. Why?

Question

Had a litter of puppies leave recently and some of them are experiencing loose stools and one of a possible bladder infection? I have no idea why? I keep my puppy area very clean, clean and fresh food and water. My other adult dogs kept in the same house are kept clean and up to date on all vaccine protocols, etc. Why are my puppies experiencing this issue? Pet's info: Dog | Poodle | Male

My first guess would be intestinal parasites for the diarrhea. The treatment for this depends on which parasite is causing it, so I would get the puppies tested if this happens again (or find out what parasites were found if the puppies in question were tested) and talk to your vet about what to do. For the UTI, in a really young puppy, I would be most concerned about a congenital issue if they really got a UTI. If the urine wasn't cultured to confirm the UTI, it could have been a misdiagnosis. If it really was a UTI, you might consider taking that puppy's parents out of your breeding stock.
