very loose stools, already been to the vet, possibly TMI

Oreo has been having boughts of loose poo for a couple of days now. I took him to the vet today. He did not have a temp and is actually gaining weight (is now 8 pounds, which is up a pound from his last visit). I gave them a sample and they gave him a shot (4 hours ago) of biosol I believe. He just had 3 loose movements. I thought the shot would have helped .

We have been giving him rice w/ boiled chicken for the past few days. I am out of ideas and do not know what to do w/ my poor puppy. He is still playful, although mouthing and barking a lot. He does not go outside much since we rent, so I have no idea what he could have picked up. Any advice?

Maybe colitis? Porter went through that with diarreah for days. Found out he has colitis and he needs more fiber in his diet.

Even in a puppy? He's only 4 months old...

He might be teething. I believe that puppies can have loose stools while teething. That might explain his mouthing and barking as well. He's probably uncomfortable.
