My dog pooped white stuff. What could it be and is it normal?

Question

Hi I inquired earlier about two bumps in my dogs skin in conclusion it could be a few things mosquito bites a pimple etc. but he also pooped and I found this white stuff in it. Please excuse the translucent white around it as it is toilet paper but he doesn’t seem to be bothered. I’m not sure if it could be related to the bumps or something on its own and if so do you have any idea? Caution the image is sort of graphic.

I think it is completely unrelated to the bumps. It’s sort of hard to tell what the white thing in the stool is, however I wouldn’t be too concerned as long as he’s otherwise acting normally. It looks most like a bit of foreign material such as a piece of white crayon or something, especially if it was just the one relatively large piece of white stuff. If his stools get soft, if you are seeing increasing amounts of the white material in the stool, or he starts vomiting or acting ill, take him to your vet. Otherwise I think it’s fine to just keep an eye on him. I hope that’s helpful, thanks for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
