Poor Pheobie. I am not sure if the sandy various colored type soft sickness is diarrhea or vomit but either way there are many things that can cause vomiting and/or diarrhea including but not limited to eating something they shouldn’t (human food, trash, dirt, bugs, rocks, toys, etc), a sudden change in pet food, intestinal parasites, toxins, bacterial infections, viral infections, kidney disease, liver disease, cancer and much more. Since it has been going on for 2 weeks, I strongly recommend contacting your veterinarian for an exam, possible diagnostics (for example a fecal, blood work, and/or x-rays), and medication. I hope she starts to feel better!
