Answer
Hi Samantha,

Thank you for writing to me about your puppy.

By "clear jelly poo" might you be referring to mucus?  Stools should be solid.  When they are of this consistancy, it means that all that is supposed to have been absorbed by the body has been and what's left is just waste matter.

It may be the weekend, but since your dog has just had shots and worming (very aggressive treatment for a wee pup, all at once and not something I recommend) your vet should be available for a phone call.  Explain your concern and ask for his recommendation.

Best,
