I've been away for 10 days but my girlfriend was taking care of Tamago while I was gone. She only eats raw, two different proteins each day, chicken and rabbit. She almost always prefers the rabbit and I know she doesn't love the chicken.
I serve her 3oz portions twice a day. SInce I've been home I've barely seen her eat anything. I put a fresh batch out this morning and she maybe ate 1 total ounce of it. I gave her two of her favorite snacks (freeze dried chicken, and tiny dried sardines) and she gobbled them right up. I just put a fresh batch of food down about 30 minutes ago and she didn't even give it more than a sniff. I stuck it back in the fridge and will present it her again in a few hours. Is she just being picky all of a sudden?
The other thing is... I noticed she went to the bathroom and the poop looked more like yellowish-clear gelatin...basically it looked like the kitty litter was being held together by goo. I know, it isn't a pretty thought. So she went to the bathroom again like an hour later (which is actually pretty rare because she usually only goes once a day because of the raw diet) and she had a more normal looking (though still soft) poop. The thing is though, it absolutely STUNK. I've had her since she was 11 weeks old and I've never smelled her poop EVER (which I attributed to the raw diet). I took a look at her butt and it had some of the yellowish goo stuck to it... normally she's really clean but maybe she just hadn't had a chance to clean herself up yet.
Do you think I have anything to worry about here?
