Is the stool hard? Is Kamu constipated? I would recommend bringing Kamu to the veterinarian and bring a stool sample with you. They may need to give Kamu different food, they may need to give an enema, medication or she may have a completely different issue. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
