Thanks, every one! Thanks for the thread, too, Kristin- that was kind of my reaction last night. Daughter said Mom, chewie pooped.. (and she hadn't for three days, either. So earlier that day when I called the vet, I came out to see poop and a nervous looking chewie looking up at me like, is this good??? and laughing a LOT) and yes, daughter was laughing because of earlier that day. Any way, yeah I Picked it up and daughter found me staring in disgust, and then freaked out when I said, I want to see if these move. Good times. I saved the sample and put it in the fridge, since well, that's what they told me to do a few months ago when she was having those bouts of throwing up. I never thought I'd see myself examining POOP of all things.
