my 3 month old puppy’s stool is almost black in color and a little runny. will he be o.k. or do i need vet ?

My advice to you is that you take your puppy to a vet as soon as possible!
Black, loose stool is not good. It’s bleeding internally. Possible causes can be infestation of hooks and/or whips worms, which can be fatal for a puppy, or a bleeding ulcer.
Look at the puppy’s gums, is they’re pale pink, it’ll confirm the bleeding.
Hooks and whips are blood suckers. The pup can get very anemic from them, and die.
Get it checked out, it’ll easy your mind, and could possibly save your pup’s life.
