My dog poops a lot and gets diarrhea on walks. Is this normal?

Question

Ive noticed with dove that when she is at home and goes potty she has a nice poop and she is done. But when i take her on a walk she poops like 4 times and the first two poops are healthy looking and then it starts to become running like diarrhea. Is this normal or should i be concerned? Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | spayed | 4 years and 8 months old | 8 lbs

This is likely due to the excitement of the walk. As long as she is behaving normally and defecates normally at all other times, there is likely no cause for concern. Keep an eye on her though. If it persists, submit a stool sample to your veterinarian and consider having Dove examined.
