I recommend that you give the vet a call and go from there.

I would call my vet and ask what they think...I always say "When in doubt, Get them checked out" !!! Let us know how it goes

A puppy the age of Pearl can have between 6 & 10 bowel movements a day. Then you add the same number of peepee stops and you've got a lot of trips outside!!
However, a very common cause of too many bowel movements in a new puppy is often because you are feeding her too much. This will also cause soft, watery stools.
Has Pearl been wormed? Did you get a feeding schedule and some of the food she was accustomed to from her breeder? If you changed her food suddenly that will also contribute to too many poos.
With all that in mind, I would still take her to a vet for a wellness check and a fecal exam.
Good luck with her!

If ever in doubt, yes, take the dog to the vet asap.
Sometimes when we have that feeling, it may be for a reason.
Just like being a new mom, we just know when things are not right.
For pups make a habit of taking the pup into the vets every 2 weeks intially.

Well, I actually went over to Pearl's page and see she actually came FROM the vet...so, I guess she doesn't need to see him so soon.
Pearl was in an environment where there were no pee/poop rules. Use a crate, take her out after meals and when she wakes, don't overfeed her and don't give her any milk products, no raw eggs either. Feed her at specific times and don't leave her food out, pick it up. Leave a limited amount of water after she has eaten and drunk. Be sure when she wakes up from a nap to carry her outsidelet her do her "business" (withmuch patting and praise) bring her in for food and water, about 1/2 hour later outside for a bit. this is the routine for the next month or so. Dogs do well on a regular schedule.
