Judge health by the color of dog feces

In addition to the physical condition, the color of dog feces is also related to the feed that the owner feeds it. For example, when cornmeal is the main food, the feces will be Light yellow; black stool occurs when feeding pig blood, beef liver and other feeds. Generally, normal dog feces are mostly brown. In addition, there are the following:

1. Red stool: The owner should first check whether the dog's stool is bleeding due to anal sacs. If not, your dog may be bleeding from the lower gastrointestinal tract.

2. Orange poop: When a dog's poop contains orange residue, or part of the poop is orange, it is most likely due to poor digestion, which prevents all the food from being absorbed.

3. Yellow poop: The color of the poop at this time is relatively healthy, and it can be judged that the food the dog eats has a higher carbohydrate content. If the color of the poop is dark yellow, it may also be because a large number of red blood cells in the dog's body have been destroyed, resulting in jaundice.

4. Gray-white stool: If the stool is white and clay-like, it may be jaundice or biliary obstruction caused by stones, tumors, roundworms, etc., which prevents bilirubin from being discharged freely.

5. Brown poop: The color of healthy poop, but the food the dog eats contains more fat, so the fat intake should be reduced appropriately.

6. Green poop: When dogs eat vegetables with high chlorophyll content such as celery and cucumber, the poop they excrete will turn green because they cannot be completely digested or absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract, or the acidity in the intestines is too high.

7. Black poop: Black poop will appear when dogs’ stomach, duodenum, small intestine and other digestive organs bleed.

Judging health by the shape of dog feces

1. Healthy poop: The shape is cylindrical, the texture of the poop is moderately soft and hard, and it is easy to clean up. Cover it with a piece of waste paper and pinch it, and then it can be removed. Pick it up completely without missing or sticking.

2. Soft and sticky: I tried to wrap it up with a tissue, but it quickly seeped out of the tissue and left traces on the ground. Cause: A cold, overeating, or being too cold can cause diarrhea.

3. Slender stool: thinner than ordinary stool. Reason: This is a danger signal. Intestinal obstruction is caused by narrowing of the intestinal lumen or ingestion of foreign bodies.

4. Mosaic-shaped poop: incompletely digested things such as corn are embedded in the poop. Reason: The food the dog eats cannot be digested because some foods are not suitable for the dog’s stomach. You should pay attention to adding some auxiliary digestive products such as probiotics. If you continue to have this kind of stool and are accompanied by symptoms such as diarrhea and loss of appetite, you should go to the hospital to thoroughly check the intestinal condition

5. Mud-like poop: Mud-like liquid feces, chocolate-colored or brown-colored mud-like poop with a strong putrid smell. Causes: Digestive tract mucosal damage, pathogenic infection and digestive tract ulcers.

6. Mucus stool: There is mucus in the stool, with mucus and bubbles on it. Reason: It may be near the dog’s anusThe rectal mucosa is severely inflamed.

7. Spherical stool: A small spherical stool, with few bowel movements and very hard stools, only once every 2-3 days, and each bowel movement takes a relatively long time. Reason: Dogs eat well. Dogs whose main food source is bones and meat are prone to this symptom. In addition, fever caused by insufficient drinking water or improper diet can also lead to dry stools and even difficulty in defecation. You should drink more water and increase your intake of fruits and vegetables, such as cucumbers and tomatoes.

8. Watery stool: The stool is like running water. There are lumps in the stool, but it is basically liquid. It is very inconvenient to clean up. It is also difficult to clean the dog's PP and surrounding hair. Reason: When a dog has watery poop, the usual reasons are catching a cold, unclean diet, etc. Of course, it may also be a sign of serious infectious diseases such as parvovirus infection and coronavirus enteritis, and it may worsen rapidly.

9. Tar stool: stool with tarry mucus and shape. Reason: Bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, but for too long, the blood has coagulated during excretion and is mixed with the stool.
