    You could try some lactulose (in the UK we get it in chemists??).  Start with a teaspoonful 2-3 times daily mixed into a meal.  You need to keep a close eye on your puppies stools as it is common for stools to get too soft quickly after starting lactulose.  As soon as you see a change in the consistency of the stool reduce the lactulose down to once daily and adjust as necessry.  If things don't improve in 2-3 days with a puppy i would suggest a vet check up.  God luck, Jo.
