My new puppy's poop changed consistency. Should I be worried?

Question

I Adopted a new puppy 3 days before. On the first day her poop was slightly dry and solid but the next day her poop softened like a cream. Is there anything to worry about? Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Female | 1 month old

Congratulations on your new puppy she is adorable! I would not worry at all about the change in her poo, as long as she is still happy and well in herself. Some variation between bowel movements is normal. The intestines can also be affected by stress, which she may be experiencing some of with all the changes. If you notice that it continues to be loose you may consider adding some cooked, skinless sweet potato to her regular dog food.
