Why is my 5-week-old rescue puppy's green and yellow poop a concern?

Question

We have 2 rescue pups from being dumped yesterday, they are around 5-6 weeks old. They are playing well, twitching a lot in their sleep & eats okay. I am a little worried about their poop, it's firm but the color is green w/ some yellow. Not because of milk we give because even before we fed them, they already pooped green/yellow. Also, they pee in their sleep. Cant call my vet, he always says 'bring to my clinic I'll check' & I want to save some vet fees if its not too worrying? Thank you!

Typically a 5-6 week old puppy should be able to eat puppy food that is soften with water or a canned diet. I would stop the milk and replace with actual puppy food. This might clear up the abnormal stool. However it is very common for puppies to also have worms/parasites so I would recommend having your vet check a stool sample to make sure they do not need dewormed. hope that helps
