Soft poop-please help

Don't worry, eventually he will become a convert too!

Ok, She had normal poop last night and at 6am today. Gave her her albon and now at 10am it is soft again...

Is this normal? What should I do? I am waiting for a fresh poo from Cass to giver her right now.

She has had only oxbow pellets and hay from the bunny bunch (good stuff)

[Lynx]

Slightly soft is okay. There may be slight variation.

This does sound like a discussion among a bunch of moms with infants.

We are back to mushy poo...any suggestions? She has been on albon since Monday.
She seemed a bit gassy so I gave simethicone and a tummy massage at 2am. I am losing sleep and going nuts...help!

[Brenda B]

now she is reaching down and eating poop from herself...should I discourage this since she has soft poops? Maybe she keeps reinfecting herself? Or is she perhaps getting the better poop and I only see the bad ones?

I want to cry...

[Brenda B]

I listened to her tummy and can hear gassy sounds...I gave simethicone and another massage...now she is eating some hay

are gassy sounds bad?

[Bethie]

I think you're supposed to hear sounds. It's when they're quiet, that nothing is happening in there, and that is not good. I'm just a piggy mum with a soft poo pig, too, learning as I go along.

[Bookfan]

Our vet said you should hear gut sounds. That's healthy.

[Brenda B]

thanks! I hope jumping the gun and giving her simethicone was ok...I panicked...

[nonamian_girl]

When Georgia was having her issues, I could hear gas sounds too, it was strange, but the vet said that as long as things are moving through, you're okay.

I didn't see Georgia eat her droppings for a while, but then she started to again after I gave her the poop soup doses, so I assumed that seeing that means she's getting better!

[Brenda B]

thanks so much! more poop soup for Sierra!
