It could be from something as simple as a change in diet or as serious as parvovirus. If your puppy has any other symptoms or has diarrhea for more than 24 hours it's time to consult your veterinarian.

You may have a food sensitivity issue. Here are some common ones...

Lactase deficiency (lactose intolerance): Another cause of food intolerance, which often is confused with a food allergy, specifically to milk, is lactase deficiency. This common food intolerance affects at least one out of 10 people. Lactase is an enzyme in the lining of the small intestine. This enzyme digests or breaks down lactose, a complex sugar in milk, to simple sugars, which are then absorbed into the blood. If a person has lactase deficiency, he does not have enough lactase to digest the lactose in most milk products. Instead, other bacteria in the intestine use the undigested lactose, thereby producing gas. Symptoms of lactose intolerance include bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. In a diagnostic test for lactase deficiency, the patient ingests a specific amount of lactose. Then, by analyzing a blood sample for simple sugars, the doctor determines the patent's ability to digest the lactose and absorb the simple sugars. A lower than normal value usually means a lactase deficiency.

Gluten-sensitive enteropathy: Intolerance to gluten occurs in a disease called gluten-sensitive enteropathy, or celiac sprue. Gluten-sensitive enteropathy is caused by a unique abnormal immune response to certain components of gluten, which is a constituent of the cereal grains wheat, rye, and barley. Although sometimes referred to as an allergy to gluten, this immune response involves a branch of the immune system that is different from the one involved in a classical food allergy. The patients have an abnormality in the lining of the small intestine and experience diarrhea and malabsorption, especially of dietary fat. The treatment for this condition involves the avoidance of dietary gluten.

Other gastrointestinal diseases: Several other gastrointestinal diseases produce abdominal symptoms (especially nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and pain) that are sometimes caused by food. These diseases, therefore, can resemble food Allergies. Examples include peptic ulcer, gallstones, non-ulcer dyspepsia (which is a type of indigestion), Crohn's disease (regional enteritis), cancers of the gastrointestinal tract, and a rare condition called eosinophilic gastroenteritis.

Well it could be something they ate. Try switching their food if you want and make sure they're not eating grass or any thing else that isn't good for dos. Also make sure they're not eating anything bad!! Also you may want to see what your vet thinks. Good luck!!

In most cases, dogs will get diarrhea because of something they ate. The dog could also have a stomach virus. A vet will be able to diagnose the problem with the dog.
