The most common reason for bottom dragging and diarrhoea is worms. Puppies ALWAYS have worms and you should not have a puppy at all unless you have taken it to the vet for a full deworming session, along with its vaccinations. You can get information about when to deworm puppies from the internet, from reputable pet shops, from your animal shelter, and of course, from your VET. One dose is not enough / the puppy must usu get a second dose about 2 weeks later. Deworming tablets can generally be bought from the vet without actually taking the dog in. The most reputable are Drontal, Milbemax and Lopatal brands. These are BROAD RANGE (not all deworming tabs kill all types of worms but all above brands do). In South Africa, Germany and Singapore these are all available over the counter at vets, some drug stores and most good pet shops.... Also remember fleas perpetuate the cycle of worms so your dog should be kept free of these parasites.
In adult dogs bottom dragging could also be a sign of problems with anal glands which needs to be sorted out at the vet. If you have the stomach for it you can read on the internet how to do it yourself... or let a poodle parlour do the dirty!! Your animal will thank you for it as it extremely uncomfortable for them. In this case, however, diarrhoea is not present so a combination of the two is almost certainly worms.
Diahorrhea in itself can also irritate the dogs anus so be sure that the dog is healthy. Diarhorrhea in a dog which is not eating or listless can be fatal and the signs of several potentially fatal diseases including parvo virus (esp dangerous for puppies) and tick fever.
If puppy is healthy in every other way just give him his deworming medicine and the diarrhoea will subside. Puppies and dogs also get diarrohea when their food is too rich or when you change brands. Remember the rule. If the dog has diarrohea and is clearly sick as well TAKE IT TO THE VET WITHOUT DELAY.
Hope this helps answer your question and please remember dogs AND their humans need deworming on a regular basis.
