Hello. My brother has a new puppy and he was born on March 28th. He has been pooping green since Sunday and he is very worried. He feeds him Purina puppy chow chicken or turkey dry food and wet food same company. What could be wrong? Thank you and God bless

Titus could have been eating grass causing the green color of his poop, or it could be due to intestinal worms or an illness. I'd have your brother take him into the vet in the morning for a health check. Best of luck.
