Thank you for submitting your question regarding Chico. He sounds quite ill for a young puppy. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian as it has been several days and he is not improving. I'm concerned that he is dehydrated at this point. He will likely require fecal testing, medication and possibly some fluids to rehydrate him. In the meantime, encourage him to eat and drink small frequent amounts. I hope this information helps!
