Hi! My 10 month old retriever puppy was being fed last night. Usually he runs to his food but he walked away from it. Then went back and ate it. He finished. This morning I fed him again as usual he finished it. He went off and pooped and I checked it. It’s a yellowish colour and isn’t conpletley solid. I then checked his one from last night and it had a yellow brown colour but was a solid log. Should I be worried or will this resolve itself. Thank you!

Did anyone feed him anything other than his puppy food? If so he may have an upset stomach. He can also have one if he has intestinal parasites or a virus. If the stool gets softer or he continues to not want to eat then I would recommend bringing him to a veterinarian to get evaluated. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
