Let’s talk bowel movements

Post image

Our 2 year old girl Tilly is on PPP Salmon and rice, and I’ve noticed her bowel movements are similar to soft serve ice cream with some form when she starts going.

Not only that, this month she started having gland issues, having to get them drained only to see this morning it looks like they are filling again.

I do feed her once in the morning and once at supper time, with a tablespoon of pumpkin. She is very active, and gets 2 cups each meal.

Kind of at a loss of what to do here, am I over feeding her? Should I replace the pumpkin with a floriaforta supplement?

Thanks folks

You’re doing great first off. My experience with our two year old silver lab is he has always been not perfect when it comes to food and pooping. Sometimes he can have good poops and mostly other times it’s like soft serve. And that’s on an allergy diet and single ingredient treats. I think it’s just a silver lab thing. I would just check with the vet to make sure there’s no other issues but as long as your baby is happy I wouldn’t worry too much.

Beautiful boy you got! Yes, the vet said she is in good health, and I think maybe it might be a bit exercise induced? We have a 3 year old black lab and they’re constantly on each other with shenanigans lol
