My dog has loose stool but is active. Should I worry about diarrhea?

Question

My dog has had loose motions 3 times in an hour now. I feed him cerelac and he is extremely active and cheerful. Is it okay for him to pass semi liquid stool? Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 20 days old | 2 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Diarrhea isn't normal. Possible causes are: intestinal parasites, viral or bacterial infections, ate something outside that is upsetting his stomach, reaction to new food/treat/table food or food allergy. I would highly recommend feeding him a commercial balanced puppy food. At 7 weeks of age he should be fully weaned and eating puppy food. I like Hill's Science diet, Royal Canin and Purina Prolplan. If the diarrhea continues then he should be dewormed and examined by a Vet. I wish you the best!
