my min pin had puppies a week and a half ago, over the last 2 days she has only wanted to eat wet food, now she has diarrhea, I also just started giving her vitamins, could this be the problem?

wet food is a general cause of diarrhea. I would recommend sticking with dry food at this point. Vitamins are ok but check with you vet to be sure she is not getting dehydrated. Important at this time due to new puppies.

I would cut out the vitamins and try to wean her pback onto dry kibble. You should be giving her a good quality puppy food until after her litter is weaned off her. Try neuto Max Natural Choice puppy, it is a small kibble and uses Lamb which is more palitable and easier to digest. Pumpkin is great, we had a few nervous dogs at the kennel we would give pumpkin to every day. Also try 1 tsp of Metamucil in her canned food if you can't get her on dry right off. Make sure you change diets very gradually, like over the course of 7 - 10 days. You should see firmer stools after just a day or two on the pumkin metamucil add ins.
Enjoy your babies!!

I don't know about the vitamins, but giving a spoonful of canned pumpkin always does the trick for my dogs when they have diarrhea.
