You need to take your puppy in to see your Veterinarian. There are so many things that can cause diarrhea such as a sudden food change to deadly Parvo virus or Salmon poisoning. That is why your Vet should check your pup out. Make sure you are feeding a good name puppy food, not some cheap generic brand. But have your pup checked out first. Take a fecal sample in also when your pup goes to see the Vet. That way your Vet can check for parasites too.

Soft foods. Don't try giving it dog biscuits yet because it's teeth may not be strong enough to chew through them. It all depends on the breed, but you probably should feed it puppy food regularly to around 3-4 times a day.

When they get to about 6 months, you should probably start giving your puppy dry food.

You take it to the vet immediately before it dehydrates and dies.

How do you treat diarhhea in an 8 week old Aussie?

You didn't say how long the diarrhea has been going on, or if it's mild or severe diarrhea (mild diarrhea is soft stools, or pudding texture; serious diarrhea is projectile, uncontrolled watery texture). The greatest worry with ongoing diarrhea is dehydration. You also didn't say if your puppy is having other symptoms such as acting lethargic or vomiting. If it is, you need to get your puppy to a veterinarian. In a young puppy, diarrhea can be caused by viruses and parasites. Getting a stool sample to the vet would be wise. Without having all the information I need, your best bet is to have your puppy examined by a vet. A young puppy with diarrhea usually needs medical attention immediately. Puppies are quite delicate, and depending on what's causing the diarrhea, it could even be fatal.

Could be worms, reaction to a new food or treat, stress etc. Bring in a stool sample to your vet, diarrhea in a pup shouldn't be ignored as they ca dehydrate before you know it.
