When should I worry about puppy diarrhea?

A: Puppy diarrhea can last for just a few hours, or it may persist for days or even longer. Always talk to your veterinarian if puppy diarrhea lasts for more than a day or two or if it is associated with vomiting, lethargy, weakness or any other symptoms of disease.

What should I do if my puppy has diarrhea?

Keep your puppy hydrated with water or ice cubes to lick. Fast for 8, 12 or 24 hours while monitoring your puppy closely. Introduce bland foods like white rice, boiled chicken, vegetable broth. Try fiber-rich foods like cooked sweet potato or canned pumpkin to get stool back to normal.

Why is my 6 week old puppy pooping so much?

Puppies poop a lot mostly because their bodies are so small that it doesn't take long for food to get from one end to the other. Puppies can't hold it in to go one or two times a day. If a puppy starts pooping a lot all of a sudden, it also can be a sign that he is going through a growth spurt.
