Hello, thank you for your question about Lucy. Based on the photos that you've attached I would not be overly concerned by this. Depending on your dogs diet, treats, etc they can change the color of the feces as the nutrients digest. If at any point Lucy develops diarrhea, lethargy, or vomiting I would recommend having her seen by your veterinarian. Hope this helps!
