Thanks for reaching out about Brinston. Changes in fecal quality, composition or color can be dietary, intestinal infections (bacteria, virus) or parasites, metabolic disorders and ingested foreign material. If persists, a veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a treatment plan. Continue to monitor feces, try to stabilize diet (no treats). Good luck.
