Make sure she is getting enough water - and if it persists, get her to the vet. Dehydration can be a real problem. But, it may be simply an upset tummy over the cookie and it will subside soon.

You don`t say how long ur puppy has had diarrhea, one cookie shouldn`t cause too many episodes. Has she been dewormed, this is a big cause of daily diarrhea if she has not. A trip to the vet is called for if diarrhea has not subsided in two days, it could be worms. only a vet can make that diagnosis. In the meantime, give her a small dose of Pepto Bismol and feed her small amts of cooked rice, just barely moistened with fat free broth for flavor. Make sure she has access to fresh water. Good luck.

Hope you are feeding the exact same food the breeder was feeding. This is a very young dog and most good breeders keep theiir puppies for 10 weeks.
The cooked white rice ONLY is a good idea, I also let my puppy lick about one tablespoon of Vanilla yogurt, but make sure it is the kind withe the live bacteria to get the system back in shape. if you do the Pepto Bismol, only give 1/2 cc twice a day and only for two days, if this does not help, see the vet immediatly.

First check to be sure, with a vet that the puppy doesn't have and parasites, then if all is well give the puppy some rice to bind him...not too much just a half cup...with some wet dog food...eukanuba is the best dog for for puppies...it has the right amount of protein to prevent hip problems in large breeds...also watch out with those raisins in oatmeal cookies.

Hi, make sure that the puppy is eating puppy food and not table scraps because small breeds have a more sensitive digestion system than big dogs. However, if it pursists I would not hesitate to call your vet immediatly. Good Luck!

First things first give her fluids to drink so she doesnt get dehydrated then you give her olive oil not too much about 3 spoons would do then let her rest a lot for about 2-5 days by that time it will feel better if not go to your local vet.

If you only think it is related to the cookie than you can give dogs Pepto or Kaopectate. Do it by the human weight doseage. Probably a children's version for that young of a dog. Also, make sure your dog stays hydrated even if you have to add something to their water to make them drink.
Good luck.

Her digestive system is still immature so when she has a sudden change in diet, it shows via her bowels. Just ensure she has fresh water and some of her regular food...she should be okay by tomorrow. Lots of snuggles might help too :)

White rice with a little chicken broth. Do it soon, because diarreha is very dangerous in a small dog. Good luck!

You can give the pup a quarter of a pill of pepsid thats what they do at the vet office. It does help.
