Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If Dalia's activity and appetite are normal, that is very reassuring. Have you started a new food or treat by chance? Sometimes a change in diet will cause the stool to change color. Sometimes a mild viral infection can also cause this but again, I would not worry unless she loses her appetite or becomes lethargic. Best of luck to you and Dalia!
