I am sorry to hear that the pups are having loose stools. The amoxicillin could potentially be a part of then problem. However, parasites such as coccidia often cause diarrhea in pups. I would highly encourage you to have a fecal analysis run on the puppies to rule out any parasite problems. Best of luck and I hope they improve soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
