Olivia has mushy poop, but he seams fine .... any one know what it could be ... and what i should do
 
also we have just recently changed his litter we use to use pine and now it is aspen (thats what we were told was the good one) could that have anything to do with it
 
Is it actual diarrhea or ceocotropes that he hasn't eaten (looks like a bunch of tiny dark grapes).

Has he eaten anything different recently? Like grass if he doesn't usually?
Try and make sure he just eats hay for a few days if that's what's happened and he seems fine in every other way, eating and drinking normally. If it's real diarrhea then he needs to see a vet as soon as possible though as it can be fatal.

I'm really hoping he's alright poor boy, have you got any more details you can give so that hopefully someone expert in these things can give more help. Mine do get a bit more squishy poos sometimes if they've over indulged in rich foods so hopefully it's just that and he needs to be on hay only for a bit.

Click to expand...

has he eaten anything he shouldnt?, other than the litter have you tried anything new maybe a new veg? if not then maybe he has eaten some litter!
 
i don't think its real diarea b/c its not alot just small strecks here and there and yeah everything else is fine he eats, drink , wants to play ....
 
I don't think the litter should make any difference, I don't know about aspen. Did it happen at exactly the same time?
 
he hasn't eaten anyting new....we did take him outside for the first time this spring the other day but he did not eat anything ... he has been eating alot of his food though .. we moved it from in his cage to outside b/c he kept throwing it in his litter box so even if he is away from his food for 2 min he will go back to it and eat a whole bunch
 
Has he eaten anything different or more than usual, any new foods, bigger meals? It sounds like that sort of symptom is why I'm asking. One of my boys gets it from time to time, usually when he's taken more than his share of food :roll: I'm hoping it's just something like that for you.
 
You posted while I was writing mine :p It sounds like that's the most likely thing then :p Probably best if you cut back on his pellets and give him more hay, sounds like he's just overindulging :D
