I am glad that she is healthy, but please mention your concerns at her next veterinary visit.
She may have a very active digestive system, and of course she could have parasites. It may be reasonable to treat her for worms just in case.
Try some Drontal Plus to be given now and in 2 weeks, available at your vets. You should have her fecal tested also for parasites that are not eliminated by Drontal Plus. These include Giardia and Coccidia, and others. Drontal Plus eliminates Tape Worm, which is very difficult to detect in a fecal exam.
