Question
Hi, i am living in india and just got a puppy, which i have had for a day and a
half. the puppy s a lot younger than we were told and we have seen a vet
yesterday , she said he is about 4 weeks old. He is a happy little chap who
sleeps eats and poops with the odd 5 to 10 minute play times. his poo is of
mustard colour and runny, not waterey but is of runny mustard texture. he is
being fed every 2 to 2 and a half hours and has a healthy appetite. Is this ok.

Answer
Hi Tracy - glad you went to the vet.  Yes, his poop will look this way because of puppy food.  I am sure the vet wants to worm him?  The worming will help the looser poops.  They will be loose a few days after the wroming products.
Follow your vet's instructions.

Feed every 2-3 hrs for now, in a few weeks you can just feed 4 x per day.

Good Luck
