A reputable breeder would not have sold you a puppy in such poor condition. It may be either or a combination of stress due to a new home and illness. Without a physical exam, it is difficult to determine. Since he is "new", he should be seen by a veterinarian anyway to confirm good health or to diagnose and treat any pre-existing conditions. Submit a stool sample to diagnose intestinal parasites or bacterial overgrowth. Any treatment will depend on the diagnosis.
