Diarrhea for 4 days isn't good. It can be a number of things including even Giardia or she can just be constipated by the food you are feeding her. Are you feeding her a different food - have you changed her food at all recently? Little ones can also be picky eaters and some prefer to eat at night. I'm glad you taking her to the Vet tomorrow - very important that she's seen. 9 weeks is very young for a puppy not to be with her mother too. I'd pick up some canned plain pumpkin to have which helps with diarrhea and constipation, but she does need to be seen by a vet as soon as possible to rule out anything serious and to have her leg looked at. She could be dehydrated as well and cramping up in her legs. Is she drinking water okay at all? Please let us know how the appt. goes tomorrow. Good luck.
