Most likely your pup is just nervous. Puppies that young tend to have more loose stools. I would keep an eye on her and make sure she is drinking plenty of water… you don’t want her to dehydrate. Give her 2 or 3 days and if her poopie is not getting firm take her into the vet.

You got her dewormed today ? Or she was done previously by the breeder? If you did the worming today, the loose poop is likely from the wormer.. If it was done previously you need to take a poop sample in to the vet and have it tested.
Make sure you are feeding a good quality food.. Just cause the breeder was feeding it, doesn't mean it's good..

Anytime a puppy has diarrhea for more than 24 hours, it becomes an emergency because they can become severly dehydrated which is dangerous. Make sure she drinks plenty of water and you are feeding her dry food. If it doesn't clear up, take her to the vet because it may be an infection.

Get her checked out within 24 hours.
Diarrhea is caused by parasite,protozoa,virus,stress and or infection.
Dehydration occurs rapidly in puppies with diarrhea. Whether it be it be stress related diarrhea is a significant indication of illness.
Offer water and walk the dog frequently.
Make sure she is eating and drinking.
If she begins to vomit or if her stool becomes bloody it is essential she get veterinary care.
Keep her comfortably hydrated
I hope she is well soon

When did she get dewormed?
Our dogs do that when they are stressed or have been stressed. It may simply be a result of being away from her litter mates and in a new home.

It could just be stress. Add some plain cooked white rice in place of half of her regular food. If it doesn't clear up in a week, take her to the vet.

No that isn't really normal. If it doesn't clear up by Tuesday call the vet as she could become dehydrated from having diarrhea.

She may have an infection. Watch and see if her poo gets a firmer consistency. If not, you will have to see your vet for some antibiotics.

nerves don't give diarrhea. It would likely be the food, scours (guiardia, coccidia), or a normal variation.

I suggest you wait a few days to see if her poop firms up, but if it doesn't call the vet immediately; it could be more serious than you think.
