  At 12 weeks old you do. It have to mix water in his food and he can have water any time. If you are house training, it does help to limit it before bed though. The loose stool can be from stress of a new Home and environment or parasites or a viral infection. I would have your check a stool sample to see if medication is needed to clear this problem

  There are many causes for loose stool, from parasites to Parvo. I recommend to have Rosie see her veterinarian today to have some tests run on the stool to determine the cause. Feeding Rosie a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken and plain boiled white rice can also help but it is unlikely to address the underlying cause.
  I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.

  Submit a stool sample to your veterinarian to diagnose intestinal parasites or bacterial overgrowth. Consider a 12-24 hour fast followed by a bland diet in small, frequent amounts until the stool is normal then transition slowly back to the regular diet.
