Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 23 days old | 0 lbs

I just got my first puppy and she got a runny stool. I see a stretchy clear lining doesn’t look like worms but not sure what it is. She got dewormed at 6 weeks she is going to be 8 wks on Tuesday do i need to deworm again ? I have to take her to the vet for her second round of shot.

It is common practice for puppies to be dewormed at each vaccination. That being said, they can actually be dewormed every 2 weeks until they are 4 months of age if need be. Speak to your vet about it and show them some photos of this stool. It may be worms you are seeing but it may also just be mucous.
