Can be due to a number of reasons. Some have been mentioned ie worming or sudden change of food. If the toilet has got blood in it you need to get a check up at the vet. Don't panic ususally nothing serious.
If no blood could just be a normal tummy upset. Try starving your dog for 24 hours and then feed only boiled chicken and rice this will fill her up and stop the dihorrea. If she still has it after 48-60 hours get it checked out.
Could also be due to a chill from being wet or something she has picked up in the street. 9 times out of 10 it will go away by itself.

diahrea is very dangerous for puppies and kittens. any young animal including human babies really. you either need to A: get it to a vet immediately. or B: get to the store and buy childrens plain pedialyte, and drop it with a droppper into the corner of its mouth a few times a day. depending on the size of your puppy, id say a few table spoons at a time. you need to keep your puppy hydrated, and watch for signs of other sickness, lethargy, fever, or dehydration. you can check if your puppy is dehydrated by pinching a bit of the skin on its neck up. if the skin stays pinched when you let go, your puppy is severely dehydrated and needs fluids immediately. there are many things that could cause this, and none of them are good, if the problem doesnt go away after two days, even with pedialyte, get to a vet.

You left out some important information. First did you just get her or change her food recently? Also is she wormed? Both can cause diarrhea and a bloated belly. If so it will go away within a day or two with the food change, once her stomach gets used to it. If she hasn't been wormed yet you need to take her to a vet and they will give her some worm medicine.

This is what you do :
1. Get some Fenugreek Seeds and roast them on a pan lightly. Then mix it in some yogurt and feed it to the Lil' Puppy.
2. Take some bread and toast it, dip it in a mixture of sugar and salt water mix (More sugar than salt) and feed her at regular intervals.
Avoid giving her 1) Milk 2) Meat 3) any oily food.
She should be better in a day but if it persists , please refer her to a Vet.
Take Care and all the best!!!!!!

Pick up the phone, call an emergency vet, and ask them what they think you should do. They will ask you some questions about her symptoms and behavior, then tell you whether you need to take her to the hospital or not. If they decide it's not an emergency, you should still make an appointment with your vet. Lots of things can cause diarrhea and bloating, and nobody can diagnose your dog without even seeing her.

FIRST DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO THE FIRST ANSWERS. IT sounds like your puppy may have worms, which is very common in puppies. they will have swollen belly's with diarrhea. if you cant take it to the vet. go to a store where you can buy animal products,sometimes a hardware store will sell this stuff.BUY a bottle of puppy DEWORMER if this is something new to you ask the person in the store for help in finding the right one,which is very important because you need the right strength of medicine. the ones for older,larger dogs can kill a puppy. after finding/buying

Definitely sounds like your puppy has worms. You can buy worming tablets or powder from pet shops and many supermarkets - just follow the instructions carefully.
If you want to make sure that she doesn't have a more serious health problem - take her to the vet for a check up. They will also be able to sell you worming stuff and it will be better quality and stronger that the shop bought ones.

Check your pup's stool too (I agree with the guy before me, sounds like worms), if you see blood, or black, tar lookin' chunks, or there's just the most absolutely beyong foul smell (even for dog-poo) then you probably have parvo on your hands, in which case, you're all but shafted. If you see little worms that look like little pieces of uncooked rice, contact your vet and arrange for a good healthy (weight based) dose of Drontol, it's a dewormer that does a fantastic job. Hopefully all you have is worms, and if so, then as soon as you get them under control, you'll want to eliminate the flea population in your puppy's environment as well (I suggest capstar to kill them off, and also a bath in Dawn dish-soap, then a preventative like advantage or 1st guard), and treat the yard/house with flea bombs/pesticides as appropriate.

Try giving her Purina Healthy Formula Puppy Chow. It has yogurt in it which has natural "good" bacteria that is good for her digestive tract. Keep her water bowl full at all times, and if it lasts for more than 2 days she needs a vet. I will say a prayer for her as well.

go see the vet,it could be a number of reasons,keep fresh water availbale at all times tho so she doesnt get dehydrated. It may be something small like adjusting to new feed etc but if it lasts more than a few days a trip to teh vet is best bet
Good Luck Pup!!
