Stress and have you changed her food? Every time a puppy/dog came into the house this would happen for the first little while. Most of the time it was getting accustomed to the new diet.
No. It’s not normal. It could be stress, or it could be if you changed her diet. Or worse, she could have something wrong internally. Diarrhea is never normal. A trip to the vet would be a good idea.
If diarrhea is the only symptom and it goes away within a day or two, it’s likely that your dog simply ate something he shouldn’t have.
But if he has any other symptoms, such as vomiting, loss of appetite, or lethargy, if there’s blood in the stool, or if the diarrhea is chronic, there may be a more serious problem. If you observe any of these symptoms, definitely contact your vet.
You should take her to the vet for a check-up. It should be done with any new puppy anyway. Take a sample of the watery stool with you to the vet so they can check it for parasites, etc.
loose poop is normal with stress and change of diet ect…but if its like water she needs to see the vet ASAP diahhrrea in puppies can lead to dehydration extreemly quickly and dehydration can kill!
she should be seen by a vet with a stool sample within the first 48 hours of comming home ANYWAY. so try and get a poop sample (eww i know) and get her to the vet asap. it could simply be worms, but it could be other more serious parisites
NO take her to the vet. my puppy was like that the breeder said it was fine but it was a parasite, (treatable but if we waited it could have gotten much wosre) better to be safe than sorry.

Hi,
If diarrhea is the only symptom and it goes away within a day or two, it’s likely that your dog simply ate something he shouldn’t have.
But if he has any other symptoms, such as vomiting, loss of appetite, or lethargy, if there’s blood in the stool, or if the diarrhea is chronic, there may be a more serious problem. If you observe any of these symptoms, definitely contact your vet.
