Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Loose stools can be observed with conditions such as colitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, among many other possibilities. Keep in mind that this may also be just transient and could self-resolve. However, if it continues, I recommend that you have Lucy evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They may choose to check for parasites and to start medications depending on the results. Good luck! Hoping for a speedy recovery!
