Friends who have raised dogs must know that the poop of a healthy dog is columnar and has a reasonable dryness and humidity, which is easy for the owner to pick up and clean up. However, some people will find that the dog's poop is loose, soft and yellow, so why is this? Let’s take you through it together.
1. Inappropriate food It is not normal for a dog to have soft and yellow stools. Pet owners should pay attention to check whether the dog has eaten inappropriate food, such as spoiled dog food, cornstarch that has been stored for a long time, greasy meals, etc. These may cause gastrointestinal discomfort and lead to soft and yellow stools.
Dogs have sensitive and delicate gastrointestinal tracts and are not intolerant to many foods. Pet owners should pay attention to the freshness of the food and not feed them human leftovers at will. When this happens, they can fast and observe for a day, and let them empty their stomachs and adjust themselves. During this period, they can be provided with some clean and hygienic drinking water. Only after the situation is stable can they be fed some easily digestible liquid food.
2. Indigestion in the gastrointestinal tract Some pet owners are always worried that their dogs will not have enough to eat, and often feed them a large amount of food at once. Overeating will lead to poor digestion of dogs and will cause soft and yellow stools. In this regard, you can first stop the dog's food and observe it for half a day or a day to avoid continuing to feed it and increase the burden on its gastrointestinal tract, and let it lick some food properly to help it coordinate the disordered flora in the intestines and ease its diarrhea. In the future, you should pay attention to regular feeding, control the dog's food intake at each meal, and avoid uncontrolled eating. 3. Coldness causes the outside temperature to be low and the dog is not kept warm. If the dog's abdomen is invaded by the cold, it will also cause soft stools due to the cold. Pet owners should provide warmth measures to their dogs as soon as possible, place their kennels in a warm and dry place, and prevent them from staying in a humid environment or sleeping on a cold floor. They can give their dogs some glucose water to help replenish energy. If symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, coughing, etc. are obvious, it is recommended to give them some quick fun and meow amo to help them replenish nutrients and promote body recovery.
