Thank you for submitting your question regarding California. Be sure to provide her with plenty of water so she does not become dehydrated. Based on her profile, she appears to be a very small dog. She will need to see her veterinarian for fecal testing and a medication. In the meantime, it is generally safe for a puppy to be fed half of a normal meal size. Providing less food will rest the GI tract a bit and potentially resolve the diarrhea. I hope this information helps!
