There are several possible causes of diarrhea including food intolerance, parasites, viral or bacterial infection, and stress. Puppies with diarrhea can become dehydrated quickly. If you have access to a veterinarian, I recommend taking Misty in to be evaluated as soon as you can. If you do not have access to a veterinarian, you can offer Misty a bland diet with rice and egg. Try feeding several small meals per day rather than one or two large meals. Once her diarrhea improves you can start adding back in her regular food. When she is feeling better she is due for her first set of puppy vaccinations, and this will need to be repeated at 12 and 16 weeks of age. I hope she is feeling better soon.
