Hi all
What colour should healthy bun poo be? My boys, who never ever had a tummy upset had quite dark hard poos. They were fed on veg in the morning, bedded on hay so there was always that available and a bowl of allen and page pellets in the evening. This was supplemented by treats from the eat naturals range and dried cranberries.
Sprocket and Widget, who get fresh hay every day including forage types and the same amount of veg in the morning, but with much reduced pellets in the evening (at present a mix of the stuff they were on, not sure which brand, poss excel, and my allen and page) tend to produce much softer golden coloured poos which sort of fall apart quite easily if you pinch them. I presume ths is good because it shows they are eating more hay?
However, Widget had a dirty bum a few days after I got them (she hasn't since) and I also still find the odd uneaten special poo plus the occsional miss-formed squishy looking normal poos which seem to contain quite a lot of moisture (approx 1-2 a day). Both seem to be bright and healthy eating normally and producing plenty of normally formed golden poos as well. They are booked in for vacs next saturday so I will be asking the vet about this but if anyone has any advice in the meantime please let me know.
Thanks,
Jo
