Poop Question

[katiebrock]

I have been seeing a few piles of this recently. Most of the poop I see is more solid and the same color as their food, a really light brown color. Should I be concerned?
P.S. Shortly after this picture was taken, my dog rolled in it

It is known as a cepal poop, a “once every 7” poops that is just a mess to deal with. If their poop is like that every time, it might indicate intestinal bleeding. @Miss Lydia is an expert on this.

Okay, I have heard of that, but I thought they were white. I see white every now and then

Have they been into the mud?

They stay on the lake during the day, so probably!

I pretty much know when mine have been eating mud or watermelon it shows in their poop. Hopefully that’s all it is.

I agree, most likely cecal poop. If you only see a couple a day no need to worry as long as everyone is drinking and eating.
