I went to a holistic dog food store. I bought this special food and she told me to mix it with her eukanuba with this natural probiotic. I think that made her much worse that's why she cried all night and had a very runny stool. I cannot hold her 24/7 I am at a loss. Yes her ears are up, but one seems to be flopping. The vet said her fecal test was good, but had me worm her again just in case. Any kind of training at this point seems to be impossible.
Very worried mom don't know what to do.

I'm so sorry that you are having such a rough time. Bringing a new puppy home should be a joyous time & not riddled with frustration, stress, and worry. Your breeder should not have allowed Bella to leave her mom until at least 12 weeks...that would have made things much easier for you & Bella! Here's my suggestions for the biting. As I said earlier, pups that leave mom too early are robbed of the chance to learn bite inhibition. So that means that you will be responsible to teach her. Here's an article to read on that.

As for the potty training, just remember to be patient as Bella is still very young. In the training section of YT, there are some good stickies about potty training that may help you. I'm not sure if giving the worming meds would cause loose stools or not, but you should contact your vet to let them know she is now having loose stools. Little ones can dehydrate very quickly. How is she eating? Drinking water? Is she playful or lethargic?
I really hope things improve for you & little Bella.
