Puppy loose stool, white/yellow specks. New food or tree bark?

Question

My puppy switched to sensitive stomach and skin food about 10 days ago. She’s also getting whole cooled rice in her food. Yesterday I noticed her stool was a little loose and there were small white specks in it. Today, I just saw her stool was less looks but now has large yellow specks. No corn or toys were eaten. The specks were not moving. She does like to chew tree bark sometimes. Any ideas what it could be? Is she massively infected? Is it an emergency situation?

Definitely not something that sounds remotely urgent. Continue to monitor for any associated gastrointestinal signs like vomiting or diarrhea, If you feel the white specks you see are worms, consider bringing a fecal sample into your vet or deworming at home with something over the counter and broad spectrum like Panacur. As long as Karter is acting normally, not exhibiting anything I have mentioned, and is not seeming to lose weight, continue to monitor the situation closely for any other symptoms.
