I would recommend taking Sidney to a veterinarian tomorrow. The concern is from changing houses she may have developed a stress colitis and your veterinarian can prescribe medication to help and a bland diet. I would also recommend a stool sample to check for intestinal parasites. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
