Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is likely due to what she is eating at this time. If she is otherwise fine, I would not worry about this unless she developed diarrhea or any other symptoms. Otherwise, she is likely to be just fine. Good luck and have a great day!
