    No, it is not normal. Could be from something it ate. It it continues, get it to the vet before the weekend. Lots of help for a new puppy owner at https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/i...tml#post251809

    Make sure that they keep an eye out for what the puppy is eating. Grass could cause green stools. He maybe eating it when he goes outside.

    I lost my 11 weeks old puppy in two days after discovering dark green stool (almost black) the vet could not help her. Take the pup to the vet immediately! S/he can tell if its grass or something else! They need to run lab tests too. Don't wait!

    I am very sorry to hear that. I was skeptical about the grass myself. A number of my dogs have been real grass eaters, including my 14 year old Lab. I never remember any green stools.

    Thank you Labman. Still puzzles me how my well supervised, quality puppy-food fed champ shired puppy got pancreatitis and die...
    My other thought for green stool is Greenies. (personally, I don't feed that to a puppy)

    Anna, please update us on the puppy :o) Thanks!

    Champion show dogs are bred for their looks, not their health.

    There is a big class action suit on Greenies right now. I don't feed any consumable treats.
