She has had brown liquid with grass, which we're not sure if it's vomit or diarrhea. She is still active and roaming around. Should we be concerned about the pomegranate or cypress tree ingestion?

My 16-week-old puppy, Louie, has had diarrhea for several weeks on and off. It started after he ate chicken feed from the coop. He has been dewormed and is due for his third set of puppy vaccines in two weeks. His stool was tested for parasites and bacteria, but nothing was found. I have been feeding him chicken and rice, but I'm unsure if it's helping. What should I do?
