Stool consistency can change from soft-serve to firm without being an indicator of illness. Sometimes it will change based on food or treats that they received outside of their normal diet. Stress can also cause softer-than-normal stools. If you see blood, abnormal contents in the stool (such as worms or "rice"), or Luna has vomiting or a decrease in appetite, then this may be a sign of illness and she should be examined by a vet.
