What formula are you feeding, how much and how often.
If this is his only food source I don't think that 3 times daily is enough.
How many ccs does he take at each feeding.
How long have you had this little one and what does he weigh.
Can you post a picture of him?

Enfamil. Formula

Enfamil. Formula

Oh no. that's formula for human babies, correct?
That is NOT what you need.
Go to the pet store and get Powdered Puppy Esbilac with probiotic.
The third ingredient on the can should be Dried Whey Protein Concentrate.
This is what you need.

Enfamil. Formula

Please don't feed him anymore Enfamil formula. Go to a Tractor Supply Store, Pet Supermarket or Petco first thing tomorrow morning and get the powdered Esbilac puppy formula. The can should say "with probiotics" in a blue ribbon across the top. The probable reason for your little one to have loose stools is because of the cows milk in the Enfamil formula. Give your little one homemade pedialyte solution: 2 cups warm water, 1 1/2 Tablespoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt until you get the Esbilac puppy formula, but get the formula ASAP. Once you get the formula and you have an accurate weight then we can determine how much formula he should get at each feeding. It should be 5-7% of his weight, so you have to have an accurate weight. I think he should probably be eating more than 3 times a day. He may be biting because he's still hungry. If you can post a picture it would be helpful to determine his age.
