Small Poops

[Sendra]

Tribble has recently gotten over bloat, and started pooping fine again. They were of proper quantity and they were the proper shape, too. But now she's starting to have smaller poops and less of them again. What should I do?

Well, I can't diagnose what your chins has, but it sounds similar to something one of mine had a couple months ago. I noticed he was pooping these tiny poos and had Critical Care and Lifeline on hand (which I highly recommend you have at the ready), so I mixed up a slurry, added more powdered acidophilus and hand fed him every two hours until he started pooping normally again, which took a day and a half. I monitored weight and gently massaged his belly to get the poop rolling again. After a day of normal pooping, I slowly weaned him off as he started eating pellets again. If yours stops pooping altogether, you could consider seeing a vet.
