Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yes, puppies can have yeast infections. These most commonly appear in the ears and skin. They are usually easily treatable. I recommend that you have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment if you are concerned about a possible yeast infection. Good luck and have a good day!
