If he's been eating regularly and he's having diarrhea... you might want to get him to the vet. Unless, there's a recent change in diet, i.e. food, treats, etc any small change can cause an upset stomach for a dog. Also, you want to make sure he doesnt find stuff off the ground and eat it too. Keep him away from garbage cans, bad material he can get a hold of, anything you don't want a baby to get into you don't want your dog to get into. If could have been something he got a hold of and ate while you were gone. Call the vet... if it worsens the next day check in the vet asap. Hope everything is okays, good luck!

has anything at all changed??? diet, activity, or possibly has he gotten into something outside. Some dogs even puppies can grab ahold of a bird or another animal and will make them sick for a few days... Keep an eye on him and see how he does. If he's not better in 2-3 days, take him to the vet to be safe.

Take your puppy to the vet. Throwing up and diarrhea could lead to dehydration. It might be something as simple as an intestinal flu, or something different like something he ate. Either way, take him and let the vet check him out.
Also, take a stool sample to the vet with you. That will help them out a lot.

Your dog must have eaten something that was bad for his stomach. If he is older and does that then the dog might have Pancreatis. I know my dog did. As for make him feel better. We took my dog to the vet and got pills. Sorry I can't help with more.

It could be caused by worms, Giarddiah or Coxidia... or could be food poisoning such as salmonella. Your vet can determine which with a stool sample.

It could be the beginning stages of parvo. You need to get him to the vet. IF it is parvo, he is old enough to survive IF you get him to the vet now.

I'm not exactly sure how it is spelled but I would say parvo (something to that extent)
