Hello. Puppy poo can be a very different color as they age & develop different populations of bacteria in their gut, so the color you are seeing may not be too abnormal. Two weeks of age is also a good time to bring a sample of the poop to your vet for a fecal analysis & start deworming the puppy. As long as the puppy is eating & acting well, I would not be too concerned, but do have the puppy(s) checked for intestinal parasites. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
