That could be related either to the diet or to gastrointestinal infection (parasites most commonly). I would suggest to have Ruby checked, dewormed and to give her a bland diet based on white fish/boiled chicken and rice for 4 days and then gradually switch her back to her original diet again. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation (one to one chat) if you require further assistance.
