Irregular poop

Postby mccullar56 » Wed Mar 28, 2018 12:15 pm

My girl (I think) is having large poops that look off in comparison to other photos I’ve seen. I saw someone mention that fluffy poops can be indicative of intestinal parasites and I’ve also seen others mention there is a user that does free fecal exams (but it was a post from 2013) and I’m curious if anyone still does them! Thank you

How long have you had her? If recent acquisition could be something internal but if she's a long term captive or cbb it's unlikely. I hate to ask you to take a gross picture, but could you and post it? I do not know about the free fecals. Sometimes they poop different when eating different foods, also, like banana, egg and fruits and vegetables. Has her diet changed?

I’ve only had her a week. Her first poop was from the diet the pet store fed her which was repashy and I have fed her a few times 50%greens40%protein10% fruit and her poops still look the same as the first. They said she was cbb but I’m skeptical. She’ll probably poop tomorrow and I’ll get a photo.

If from a pet shop cbb is unlikely. Repashy is like the consistency of jello and could cause your issue. Post a picture so we can identify, if imported a vet check is a good idea as most harbor parasites.
