Having a hard time….

As the totals suggest I am down bad!

We brought home a 12 week old puppy 2 weeks ago, we have all these plans for him, he is supposed to start his puppy training tomorrow! (Local to us and we put or older dog through and it was amazing they work on obedience socialization and exposure to many things!) he has been great the first few days were ROUGH, but that's to be expected with a new puppy.

I'm hitting a wall at this point because he has been having very loose stool for the last day or so, eating and acting normal otherwise aside from maybe being little more inactive but not by much. Anyways, he has a fecal test done a week ago (a requirement for the trading) it came back cost! I have been SO EXCITED for this because it went so well with our 4 year old dog. Well now I am having a little bit of a break down because of this loose stool. And I may be pre panicking for no reason we haven't gone to the vet yet just because it the weekend and I wouldn't classify his symptoms as an emergency at this moment because he's acting totally normal, but I am terrified that he is going to end up with Giardia (I know it's common and I'm not so worried about his health) but if it turns out to be that he will not be able to do the trading. Puppies can't be for than 14 weeks old when they start. I have no idea what I'm going to do if that's the case. (I know there are other avenues but in this moment it feel like everything in trying to do is falling apart). I know how important socialization is for puppies so I have taken him out to low traffic areas with little to no dogs, but he is a large breed dog and too heavy to carry. I did purchase a wagon for him and we worked on it for days to get him comfortable but he will not stay in it so I am lost as to how to socialize when I can tcarry him and he won't stay in the wagon but can't be on the ground in high traffic areas (that's the whole point is high traffic's to observe). Ultimately I am overthinking everything that's just how I am but I like to think I've been doing all the things just like I did before but worried that if it doesn't work out that he's going to suffer because of it. Not actually, but suffer in the sense he won't bet all the experiences I want him to have. I know nothing is perfect but I'm just feeling frustrated.

I know there really wasn't a point to this post aside from maybe some kind words I'm just feeling helpless in this moment EVEN though we don't even know what it is yet, could be his food but he's been eating it for over a week and has been fine or just being a puppy and eating something in the yard. Anyways if you read this thankyou and if you have any tips let me know they are welcomed!
