Pet's info: Dog | Great Pyrenees | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 18 days old | 5 lbs

I just got a 8 week out female puppy. I did notice That she has long white worms in her poops. I also noticed today that she has a greenish discharge for her vagina. I have to drive back home to where my vet is but it won’t be until Monday witch is 2 day. So I was wondering if I should bring her to a vet or hospital where I am now or will she be able to wait that long.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Luna. While her symptoms are most likely not life threatening, it is best to have her seen as soon as you can. You want to treat the intestinal parasites for her benefit and that some types are transmissible to humans. Some vaginal discharge can be normal in pups (puppy vaginitis), but other times it can indicate a urinary tract infection. I hope this information helps!
