My puppy feces comes out like honey the same color and kinda thick and it sometimes has little white balls in it. What does that mean? Is it normal for new puppies?

Penelope may have worms which is common in young puppies. If she is showing signs of being unwell with these signs then I would recommend making an appointment with your veterinarian. If you provide your veterinarian with a sample they will be able to check it for parasites and other possible infections and provide you with a suitable deworming regime.

Yes, I would take Penelope into the vet. What you are seeing could be tapeworm segments, and she will need a deworming treatment from the vet to treat it. I would bring in a sample of her feces for your vet to examine, and once they confirm she does have tapeworms, they can prescribe her Drontal to treat them.
