Hope this isn't too long, but a little bit of history.
Charli was fed hound & gatos as a kitten. At 5 months I transitioned her to raw. Long story short, there were two bouts of what was most likely bad raw. ( I was ordering from reliable source on line, frozen, but...) So anyhow, after second time, and her having been been put on clavamox and having a bad reaction to that (serious diarrhea, vomiting, just horrible), back on canned. My favorite hound & gatos too hard to come by, supply not meeting demand, so went over to Instinct Pride, which she LOVES.
Here's my issue. Since her horrible diarrhea problem with the clavamox, and sporadic loose poop in trying to find a suitable canned food for her, I find myself concerned about her poo. Sometimes, for no apparent reason to me, she will have a somewhat loose stool. Now this is not the watery, super smelly stuff that comes about when there is a real problem, but like today I happened to be in my home office when she came in to use that little box, and it started out normal and ended loose, but normal smelling poo. Is this something that I should be concerned about? She is perfectly healthy, active, 9.6 lbs, she will be a year old on Valentine's Day. I just get overly concerned every time I see this, and I'm wondering is this normal? She does enjoy her treats, and my husband enjoys giving them to her, so sometimes I wonder if it's too many treats or what. I do feed her varieties of rabbit, duck, lamb, chicken, salmon, she loves all of them (all Pride).
Am I obsessing over poo for no reason? I would say it happens maybe once a week. It seems to have no correlation to the "flavor" of her meals that particular day, and maybe, as I say, it could be too many treats from daddy. The only treats she eats are Natural Balance LIT in Rabbit flavor.
It's not horrible loose, not watery, just ploppy loose, and like today it starts out a normal poo and ends with a bit of the loose.
Thoughts? (she's been vet checked, happy, healthy, energetic) I don't get it, or is it normal for this to occasionally happen?
