Hello, we just recently got a 4 week old baby girl pit bull from a breedier, when we first got her, poop was semi solid, and she always would let us know when she has to go potty. But her poop is very wet and green its been like that for a few days now, she still lets us know but she cant hold it for as long so lots of accidents are starting to happen. We are feeding her wet puppy food and milk that the breedier gave us. Would this be the cause? or might there be another reason. My girlfriends starting to think she might be sick and shes very worried.

Four weeks is awfully young to be taken from her mother - I'm amazed that a professional breeder would allow it. I've had to fight to get 8 week old puppies!
I would take the dog to the Vet - could be anything from worms to parvo and back again.
I second that comment and think that there is something that they need from the mother when they are so young in their diet, but I can't recall what it is. Please take her to the vet.

I agree, the breedier told me that she was ahead of the other pups in size and they already had to take her from her mother because of her teeth. I tryed to take the pup to the vet for shots and what not and the vet told me to leave and they couldnt do anything till she was 8 weeks old.
the story regarding the "breeder" sounds extremely sketchy to me. even when the mother is removed from feeding the pups for teeth reasons, at the very least the puppies *must* stay together until they are 2 months old in order to learn everything a tiny pup needs to know that you can't teach him as a human being. there is no such thing as a responsible breeder who gives away a puppy at that age. period.
the vet's office is dangerous for small puppies because they are very sensitive to dangerous, contagious diseases at that age, but i have never heard of a vet saying that it couldn't look at a pup. did they inspect her stool sample?

Im sorry i worded my last statment strange. I called a vet on the phone and talked to him and he said that he wouldnt be able to give her shots. The Breedier made me sign somthing saything that i would get them shots asap i called the next day, and im still going to take her to a vet to get checked out. My dog wont even drink out of a bowl, i have to put the milk in my hands from a bottle and then she will drink. when we first got her i was really scared because she wasnt drinking but i can tell she didnt learn much at her last home. I hope shes going to be ok...
This breeder should be reported....never, ever should a 4 week old puppy be taken from mother and littermates. You mentioned giving the pup milk, what kind of milk?? Hopefully, nothing but a prepared puppy formula....NOT REGULAR MILK!! Could be why the puppy has wet stools!!
This is not a breeder. That is a puppymill. They should be reported, to the SPCA and to the Police (for consumer fraud).
Going from mother's milk to formula will cause changes in the stool. That shouldn't be as much of a concern as whether this puppymill is selling dogs to black marketeers.
