Thank you for submitting your question regarding your puppies. I recommend going back to their original diet. They will also need to see their veterinarian for fecal testing. Diet and intestinal parasites are the most common causes of diarrhea in young puppies. Other gastrointestinal tract infections can be to blame though. This is why fecal testing is important. I hope this information helps!
