Have you started weaning them yet Jack or are they still just nursing? Since there are only 4, they may just be overeating. If it was parvo, corona, giardia, or cocidiosis, they would go down in a hurryat that age !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would still give them little Kaopectate to coat their stomachs and to control the loose stool. Best of luck with them!

It sounds normal to me, my pups have had yellowish stools before and I have seen some funky stuff now and then when I've cleaned the box/pen.
Are they eating puppy chow soaked in warm water or Esbilac? You might try that to thicken their stools up a little.
As long as they are all healthy acting, warm, pink gums & toes, active, nursing, sleeping, and their bums aren't getting caked, I wouldn't worry. But keep an eye on them

Leah? Anyone else??

Could be Whip worms. They will cause those symptoms . Eggs sometime do not show up in fecal sample. You will need Panacur for whips and I believe it is perscription only.

Round worms imo ... Give them a little ivomec and watch the worms fly

. Todays puppy wormers are not much . This is just my opinion . Have you noticed a little blood in the stool as well ?
If you get a diareah or bleeding along with it give some albon just to help heal any damage done to the intestines .

Like I said this is just my opinion but I've been there done that

. Nemex II is really the pits .

I lost 3 pups last year using puppy wormers faithfully. Got Drontal and broke it into quarters and daved the rest in no time. Worms will kill pups 2 days after you begin to see symptoms. Jack, don't take any chances.
