It looks solid, but a bit tannish. She could be a bit dehydrated. I would make sure she has free access to water, and consider adding in wet/canned food to her diet. Otherwise, she likely is going to be just fine if this is the only thing that is abnormal at this time. Thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Take care.
