Sometimes when they have diarrhea they do get blood in the stools. Is your pup feeling good, playful, happy,etc. Is he drinking? Young puppies can get dehydrated quickly when they have the runs. With a puppy it's best to with hold food for 12 hours...and just give water. It gives their tummy a chance to heal. Then start with some overcooked white rice and a small amount of skinless, boneless,cooked chicken. If there is not reaction to this 3-4 hours later ,give another meal of rice and chicken, and later again if everything is good. The next day start adding a tiny bit of kibble to the rice, chicken mixture and see how things go.

If puppy is feeling unwell or you are worried, take him in to see the vet. I would also take in a stool sample...sometimes with giardia or coccidia they have bloody, loose stools.

Sometimes overdoing it with the canned food can cause diarrhea. If you plan to use the canned food again, just add a teaspoon mixed into the kibble...and see how things go.
