If you mean loose, then no that isn't normal. Even with wet canned food the stool should be solid consistency. One commoner cause for loose stool in puppies is intestinal parasites. I would recommend having your vet do a fecal exam to check for these so that she is treated with the appropriate dewormer. Another common cause is dietary indiscretion which means she ate something she shouldn't have. In which case a bland diet of boiled plain chicken and rice or cottage cheese + 1-2 tsp of canned pumpkin may help it return to normal in a few days. However if it doesn't then a vet visit is best for further care. Best wishes with your puppy Daisy and take care.
