Diarrhea is a symptom of coccidia. It's a parasite that all puppies have....and some come down with the illness with the stress of a new home. You need to take her and a stool sample into the vet's. If treated early...it's cured pretty easily...the longer without treatment the worse it becomes.


Because she is so small there is a real possibility of dehydration from the diarrhea. I have a 7 pound one that required an iv drip to rehydrate him after a bout with diarrhea.
