Sometimes they can get long stringy poo if there's an obstruction (like stones) or even full anal glands. Even inflammation of the digestive tract(s) can cause skinny pencil poopies. So if it continues, maybe having the vet check Milo out would be a good idea. |
Well I might have spoken too soon, I hope. Milo had one of his first normal poops in a long time. Since there is no discomfort, blood, vomiting, etc, and since he is on raw (Halshans-Frozen) I think it might be what Ann says, the Giardia, and now that he was negative, I'm hoping this nightmare will clear up. Today i gave him a teaspoon of nonfat greek yogurt, I think that is supposed to be good for them. Although his meals are all raw (Halshans raw frozen and Stella and Chewy's for treats (freeze dried raw) I do give him low fat string cheese sometimes as a treat and steak, chicken and fish (cooked) as special treats for potty training. He also gets some apple (no skin) and a little banana.
I'm interested in looking into your product that you are carrying Jenny. I will discuss with my Vet. It sounds like something good to give. If the stringy poops don't go away I will definitely go to Vet to check out possible obstruction.
I don't think he has worms. Anyway will update soon.
