Answer
Hi Jessica. I would take the pups that have diarrhea and the one that seems to be constipated in to the vet. Sometimes, if the pups eates too much, it can cause diarrhea. Also, worms can as well, so while you're there, get the vet to check them for worms. You can worm them now, but let him do a check to see what type of worms they may have so you worm them correctly. If the one pup is constipated, the vet can give you something to help with that. He may have something else going on, that's why I suggest taking him in with the puppy that has diarrhea.
