My puppy has diarrhea with blood and mucus but seems fine. Why?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Aussie Doodle | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 6 days old | 10 lbs

I’ve had my puppy for two weeks and she has had diarrhea. She is drinking a lot of water, if we put the bowl down she will lay down and drink the whole bowl and eating a lot of food. She poops twice every hour. She has high energy and doesn’t act sick. She has blood and mucus in her stool. Two weeks ago she was given parvo vaccine and deworming medicine from the breeder. I thought it was stress from new home or change in diet but now I’m not thinking that is the truth.

I think it's something else, and two weeks is a long time to have diarrhea. If Zoey is still acting and doesn't act sick, it could be intestinal worms. She needs to see a vet, please take her into one in the morning.
