Puppies generally do have diarrhea, I would call and talk with your vet just to make sure he doesn't have an infection.

You haven't said if she is still be sick . Puppies can get car sick on the way home from the breeder. If she hasn't been sick since thanks ok. As for the upset tummy that could be to do with the cat food she has been fed as it is to strong for a puppy. And it could also be alittle to do with the stress of going to a new home. You could give her some cold cooked chicken and slow introduce the iams puppy. If she keeps being sick or having diarreha or has any blood in her poo you need to get her to an emergency vet . Most vet have a 24 hour emergency 7 days a week. Also make sure she always has water avalible. If she seem listlust you need to contact a vet as soon as possible.

I'd definately make an appointment with the vet. Considering he's so young, he has a lower immune system which makes him more susceptable to illnesses such as gastrointeritis (could explain the diarrhea)

Is the diarrhoea a lot or little. Has he had his jabs or have you changed his food? Changing his food can cause diarrhoea.
Make sure he's drinking plenty and get him checked out at the vets as diarrhoea can be dangerous for a puppy so young. They can be fine one minute and become quite ill, quite quick.

You should check with a vet just to be sure,be careful when you changing his dry food for new one, even with the same brand,puppies still have very sensitive stomachs.He's still a baby so this could be normal,but like I said,better be sure then sorry,so take him to the vet,good luck :-)

I would not worry, but definitely take your pup to the vet. Anyway, your must have only had him a week and should take him straight to the vet. Also your breeder should have had him checked. Do so right away.

My choc lab had runny eyes until he was about 6 months old, i think this is a labby trait? How much are you feeding him? sometimes soft poos are due to over feeding? If he seems unwell you could call your vet, they will tell you if you need to take him in.

Has he had his jabs? If so it might not be too serious but if not... Either way take him to your vets,even just to reassure you. And try to keep his diet light and keep his eyes bathed with cooled boiled water.

as for his diarrhea go check with your vet. he probably ate something that is making him sick. I know for a fact that coffee ground can kill a dog. my dog was sick with diarrhea and I found out he ate coffe ground from my gargage.
