I have 2 week old litter with diarrhea. Is it was safe to feed a cc or 2 of Pepto or plain Yogurt to them at this age?

Full Question:
Hello Cindy, my name is Elaine, I saw your website online and called. The lady recommended that I refer my questions to you... I hope you don't mind. I have a litter of English Bulldog Puppies that are 2 weeks and 1 day. Every time they eat off of mom they are getting diarrhea. I was wondering if it was safe to feed a cc or 2 of Pepto or plain Yogurt to them at this age. I know in the past I have, but they were a little older. I've never had a litter have it at this age so I wasn't sure and I wasn't an expert opinion... Thanks so much for you help.

Cindy Cindy's Answer:
I would find out why they have diarrhea before I gave any medication. It could be something you are feeding the mom, that is making them have loose stool. They could have parasites like roundworms or coccidia. I would get a stool sample checked by a vet and go from there.
