Hey all
i am a bit worried about my dog, her poop for the past 5 days has been soft not watery but very soft and these last 2 days there has been some mucous-like stuff on it :(
What could it be?
This morning though, i had hope becuase she pooped a tiny piece of poop but it was firm ! but then.. later in the day she pooped again very soft poo:'(
Her meals have not changed and it was all firm poo before. And i haven't added anything new?
And she isnt in transition stage i think since she has been on raw for almost 2 months
Is this worrying?
Any help is appreciated
Thank you
regards,
Nickiklaus

What have you been feeding? You could be feeding too much. Go back to some bone-in chicken for a few days and see what happens.

Lamb,beef and chicken for meat but for bone its always chicken wing
i do not think i am feeding too much because she is not overweight
Overfeeding can cause digestive upset instead of overweight. Its just a side effect. I would go back to bone-in chicken only with skin/fat removed for a few days, and see what happens. Lamb and beef is pretty rich.

Ok thank you i will try just chicken
how do you know if you're overfeeding?
Aside from weight gain, digestive upset is common. Runny/soft poops, and throwing up.

so its been a little over a week... out of the week only 2 days was firm the rest soft/runny :((!! my puppy who is eating exactly the same thing has firm poo though:/ (knock on wood)
i don't know what to do i am really concerned:/
Should i try feeding just chicken wing?
How much do you feed (have you weighed the meat to see?) and how much do your pups weigh?
thank you all for the replies,
i am feeding 120g meat ( 4.2oz) and 50g chicken wing (1.7oz) which is 25g bone (0.8oz) i do same amount of meat for beef chicken and lamb
what worries me is that she was fine on these portions for weeks and had firm poo everyday now suddenly she is getting soft poo for 2 weeks now...even though i haven't changed anything
my 9 year old which is the one having problems is 5.7kgs (12lbs) and my 5month old puppy is 4kgs (9lbs)
