My dog has yellow balls in her poop after diarrhea. What is it?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 1 year and 3 months old | 19 lbs

My dog has had diarrhoea for five days. She's 15 months old. I've had her on a diet of boiled chicken and rice for the last two days which has firmed her stools up but today I've noticed small yellow balls in her stool. She hasn't lost any weight, has a good appetite, is drinking lots and there hasn't been a change in her energy but I'm concerned about the yellow seeds which almost look like wholegrain mustard?

Hi there Persistent diarrhea is one thing we take pretty seriously in our pets. It would be helpful to know if Winnie has been dewormed lately and if she has been vaccinated. Your vet will likely need to do a fecal exam to make sure what you are describing isn't parasites, first and foremost. It is less concerning with her overall seemingly good health but I would still encourage you to do it soon. I hope this helps!
