Unfortunately, without an exam it would be hard to recommend a treatment plan. Trying to figure out the cause of her having seeds in her stool is best so that the right treatment can begin. If she is having trouble digesting food, switching to a softer diet of pellets or even adding in a little rehydrated baby bird food may help with some minor stomach upset, however other causes such as illness, GI upset, parasites, etc can also cause food to move too quickly through the body and leave it undigested in the stool. If you suspect this is the case, having a vet look at her in person and provide antibiotics, dewormers, or other medication is needed. Making sure she is on a balanced diet, and has plenty of access to clean water may also help.
