I trapped a 12-16 month old lady a week and a half ago, and looking for some advice. I'm pretty certain she has lived outside her entire life and had 1 litter of 1 surviving kitten (which I rehomed).
I trapped this lady and her poop has been normal. Gray, hard at first but I assumed it was from eating live prey outside, supplemented with the kibble and wet food I leave out.
We've made tremendous progress and she trusts me, to where she comes to me (within her big dog kennel) and loves affection. She is however, terrified and refuses to leave the kennel, and the last 5-7'ish nights, she has throw up all over her blankets and I notice she burps a lot. Getting to the vet, at this point, would be iffy given her fear.
If she had worms, wouldn't her poop be more like diarrhea? Could this be stress from trapping her? Should I try feeding her frozen raw to see if her system tolerates that better? My only concern is that I'm trying to find her a home and I'm not sure they'd be willing to continue the raw. I'm currently giving her wet food 2-2.5 cans per day (she is a little thing, maybe 7-8lbs at most and do leave Petcurean kibble for her but she doesn't really like kibble.
Any thoughts or suggestions on what could be the issue? At first, like I mentioned, I thought it was stress, but I'm starting to get a touch concerned (my dog has IBD so I'm familiar with those symptoms and this feels similar) but I know she's had a LOT of changes recently and hoping it's just her adjusting...
Picture is of her crawling into my lap today, on her own, and the stare she gives me regularly. I feel like she's trying to tell me something
