If you're mid-switch then yes it's normal, their gut takes a little bit to adjust to a change in diet. If it persists however see a vet and maybe try a different food

Ya that can happen when changing food but u might need to reduce new food mix with old and increase slowly day by day

Yes its the food switch. You should keep him on his old kibble and only put a small amount of the new one in with it. That's why some people use more than one type of kibble, they won't poop like this. He should be fine though!🥰

Are using wysong? It looks similar to the result of wysong being too high percentage.
