Waffle had a rough week. Our freezer is not working properly, and after letting a couple meals’ worth of frozen chop thaw (which seemed way mushier than usual), I threw her chop out & switched to pellets for the time being.
On top of that, we had family in town this week, so our schedule was all messed up and she got a bit freaked out by some of the strangers (ESPECIALLY the 5 year old that doesn’t know when to leave her be.)
Since she’s off the chop, I’m trying to give her vegetables as a snack (frozen peas, fresh peppers usually).
She has been having mushy to normal poops throughout the past 3 days, with really watery/mushy poop first thing in the morning. This happened once before when I first got her & fed her too much fruit, and a probiotic + cutting back on fruit got her back to normal. I have started her probiotic again.
Otherwise, she seems completely normal—playing & eating as usual, and her weight is a healthy 67 grams (up 4 grams from her first checkup!). My hope is that the probiotic will settle things down. I know the diet change AND the stress could both be culprits. Should I cut her down even more to just pellets (no snacks or veggies)? Is she likely ok as long as she seems otherwise normal? If things don’t improve by Monday, I will schedule a vet visit.
