My 2-month-old puppy has a hacking cough and diarrhea. Should I worry?

Question

Hello! I adopted a puppy this week and she has had a hacking cough that I suspect is kennel cough. However, she also has had nothing but diarrhea/runny stools. She’s healthy otherwise, still eating, drinking, and playing. Just wondering if I should be worried. She’s a two month old cattle dog/red heeler.

Poor Poppy! It could be she has intestinal worms causing her diarrhea, those are common in puppies. I'd have her seen by a vet and bring along a sample of her poop for the vet to examine. If she does have intestinal worms, the vet can treat her. I hope this helps!
