My dog has peanut butter poop after moving. Is it stress?

Question

Hello. We’re moving from Las Vegas to Honolulu and things have been stressful & crazy for all of us. We are now in So CA awaiting our flight on Tuesday and since yesterday I’ve noticed my 8 1/2 yr old Yorker mix is having very runny gooey poop the color of peanut butter. She passed her pet exam last Saturday with flying colors and in the 7 yrs I’ve had her I’ve never noticed poop like this. She is eating, wagging etc & generally acting like herself. Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | spayed | 13.5 lbs

It's probably just stress related colitis. I suggest you start her on a probiotic as soon as possible. Any probiotic made for dogs is OK but personally I think Fortiflora is the best. NO human probiotics. One packet on her food daily. I would use it at least for 2 weeks straight no matter if the diarrhea clears up in a day or two.
