She could have colitis but that is pretty unlikely in a puppy. I suggest you just put her on a probiotic for a couple months to see if it helps. You can use any probiotic made for dogs but I prefer Fortiflora as it has had the most testing. Do not use human probiotics. You can buy it on Amazon - no prescription needed. One packet on her food daily. ( https://www.allivet.com/p-1130-purina-pro-plan-veterinary-diets-fortiflora-dog-supplement-box-of-30.aspx?SearchTerm=fortiflora+Auto )
