Looser stools can be caused by a number of things. If you've recently given Sky a bunch of snacks (such as fruits and veggies) or changed her diet, this can cause temporary stool color changes or moist stool. Removing any extra treats and letting her adjust to her new diet for a few days may help. If she has differently colored pellets in her food, this may also cause color changes to the stool as well. Other causes can include parasites, GI upset, illness, nutritional issues, metabolic issues, etc. If she didn't have a diet change or any snacks, or is showing other signs of illness in addition to the loose stool/color change (you mentioned she is less active), then having her examined by a vet is best. They can treat her for parasites and help rule out any more serious underlying conditions that may require treatment.

A few things are possible. Issues such as eating too many treats (salad greens) could be causing some minor diarrhea, and reducing the amount you give her could help firm her stool back up. Irritation to any bedding or dust in her new location may also cause sneezing to happen and keeping the area clean and dusted as well as draft-free may help. If you're seeing discharge from her nose that is yellow or greenish, it may also indicate an upper respiratory infection, which should be checked out by a vet. Also, if the stools do not return to normal with the reduction in treats, ruling out a return of internal parasites or other GI issues with your vet is also a good idea.
