The shape of dog stool is not only influenced by diet, but also by the condition of digestive system. If the puppy can keep a regular straight waist and straight back and the stool is full, then the digestive system is healthy. If the puppy's stool is too soft or thin, it may be a problem with the diet or digestive system.
So generally speaking, the normal stool of puppies should be of medium size, soft but not muddy, long and brown, and sometimes with some yellow or sesame spots.
2, stool color
If the puppy's stool is black or bright red, it means intestinal bleeding. And if the stool is gray, it may be caused by liver disease. "Chocolate-colored" stool is the healthiest performance, which is caused by bile and bilirubin cut from the liver, indicating that the puppy is in good health.
3, the stool has an odor
Although people often say that "the dog's stool stinks", in fact, if the puppy has been eating healthy food and the whole digestive system is healthy, then the smell of its stool should be mild. If the smell of stool is very cold, it means that there are some problems in the digestive system. These problems may be caused by bacterial infection or gastrointestinal problems.
4, stool frequency
For puppies, the frequency of defecation is higher because their food is digested very quickly. However, the number of stools of adult puppies must be properly controlled. If the puppy can only defecate once a day, it may be caused by insufficient cellulose or water in the food, or it may be caused by gastrointestinal infection.
