I would be careful using honey on a puppy. In human babies, administration of honey
to infants under one year old can actually lead to a bacterial infection that can kill
children. Under this age, they lack an enzyme that is present when older that
neutralizes this bacteria. I'm not certain if puppies have a similar problem, but I
wouldn't risk it. This bacteria seems to be in all honey, and doesn't seem to be
killed by processing.

A very good suggestion Vicky, I certainly would not be giving this puppy a pinch of
this or a tablet of this and especially not any further antibiotics.
I would suggest that he is put on a very bland elimination diet of boiled rice and
chicken with some yoghurt. If all goes well then slowly add in other foods one at a
time, but slowly. If he has a reaction with loose stools then there is cause to
believe there may be a food allergy.
We have a wonderful homeopathic remedy here called koromiko which is fabulous for
diarrhoea it will stop it within hours if it is just a slightly upset tummy due to
stress or change of water. However as a koromiko is a native New Zealand tree it may
not be available anywhere else. Another excellent more natural remedy which has
proven antibiotic properties is active Manuka honey, is you can find this a tsp of
this 2-3 times a day may also be helpful.
