| Something I've done with mine and that has worked is I put crushed ice in her bowl and add the cold water. She hears or sees me and comes running. That is how I have gotten her to drink more water. She loves it!

Hubby was feeding them whatever he eats. He works graveyard and I'd find the evidence the next day. Yes I fussed at him. He says they gave me that look. Since I explained issue to him and also showed him change in poop. He has started deboning there food. | |

| I think we all can. If you would have told me 2 years ago, that I'd look at and examine my dog's poop before flushing it, I would have told you that's nuts!!! Ah well, as long as my pup is healthy and happy, I'll do anything.

| How is it today? Any different or still powdery? Have you had any recent flea issues? The reason I ask, last year Remy had a bad bout with fleas. As we all know they can get a tapeworm if they ingest a flea, which of course Remy also got. Around this time the texture of his bowel movements was very very similar to what you are describing. Once we addressed the tapeworm issue all returned to normal. Obviously I have no idea if this is your situation, but its food for thought.... |

| Lane has these on occasion. Your description (and the picture of the donut) is dead on! She usually eats Orijen in the morning and premade raw in the evenings. She is a rescue and for as long as we've had her she's seemed to "strain" a bit more when going than Rory who could probably poop on cue if asked. They both eat the same diet/supplements. Everything checks out fine at the vet though. I do see Lane at the water bowl a lot more than Rory still.

Anyway, Kaji's last 2 BM's have been perfect. No more donut-like poops so far. He was really fussy and antsy last night, he just wanted his belly rubbed. Maybe he had an upset tummy?
