Pepto Bismol is often a remedy, but since your dog is still a pup, I would check with a vet before giving him anything.
In the meantime, try cooked white rice with a little bit of cottage cheese and/or dry kibble mixed in. You can also mix in a little bit of grilled or boiled boneless skinless chicken breast (the key is bland--no fat, no seasonings), if you want, but not a whole breast. The mix should be mostly rice, in the quantity that you would normally give him for a meal.
Avoid beef for now, as it is actually a little bit harder for dogs to digest, contrary to the cartoon images of throwing a dog a steak.

First of all I would see a vet as soon as possible and bring in a (diarrhea) fecal sample. Do not use pepto unless advised by a vet. Many things can cause diarrhea in a puppy and blocking up the virus is not a good idea. At this point if your pup is still active and not lethargic or no blood is seen in the stool and your pup is drinking etc stop food for 12 hours.What goes in must come shooting out-give the digestive tract time to rest.Offer plenty of water and see the vet asap.Puppies can dehydrate so fast.

Has is been to the vet and checked for worms? Has it eaten anything different in the last couple of days? Don't make sudden diet changes. Try feeding him something easy to digest, like boiled chicken and white rice (remove all fat). 1 part chicken to 3 parts rice. This is OK to feed for just a couple of days as it is NOT a balanced diet. You can give a little Pepto Bismol (about a teaspoonful for a medium sized dog) twice a day. They hate the taste, but it may help. If he is vomiting and not wanting to eat, that is very serious and you need to see a vet ASAP!!! He could have a virus.

Call your vet. They can advise you over the phone if you need to bring the dog in or if you can safely try a home remedy. They should not charge you for this advice. If your vet doesn' t offer this kind of advice free of charge, get a new vet immediately.

The first thing to do is get it to a vet. Make sure it doesn't have Parvo. If caught early, it can be treated, but if not, it will soon be a late bulldog. Hurry!

If it's serious, take your dog to the vet ASAP! Especially when your dog is soo young! Other then that, give tons of water, some 100% can pumpkin or plain yogurt might help as well.

Same thing you do man, PeptoBismol. It will not hurt a dog. Pour some in a saucer and If they dont eat it like that put something else in it. My dogs like it. Also you can make a mixture of pan friend ground beef and white rice. This settles their stomachs.

You usually have to take them off of solid food for 24 hours.Make sure there is plenty of fresh water available. If that doesn't work, please call a vet because at that young age they can become dehydrated very quickly and that would be life threatening. Poor puppy.

It's a must that you contact a Vet. Puppies can dehydrate easily, which will put them in crisis, that neither you or the pup want to be faced with.

Give your dog less water and go to the store and give him Diarherra pills ! I recommend going to the vet first to see if you can get a prescription for that poor Dog !
