Thanks. She was prescribed 0.1 mL of Metacam. I always gave her meds after feeding her some soft food in the morning. Then I would give her the meds right in her mouth by syringe and feed her more soft food. Her last dose of Metacam was yesterday morning. Her stool this morning seemed more brown, not as dark. Hopefully, it will continue to improve.
I was also only feeding her soft food after 3 canines were pulled, and they also yanked a loose premolar on her left side. I gave her kibble Wed. and Thur. for dinner mixed with soft food, and today I'm back to just kibble for all meals. She's had this soft food before, but it's always been mixed with kibble. Could this change affect the colour too?
