Your dog may have diarrhea or constipation issues. You can try a high fiber diet like Hills I/d for a few days and see if this clears up the issues, or add canned pumpkin to her food. If this doesn't seem to solve the issue, she needs to see a vet for fecal tests to see what's going on. She may need to be dewormed or to be on probiotics or antibiotics. Hope that helps!
