My dog's stool is vanilla pudding color and beige. Vet visit needed?

Question

For the past few days off anon my dogs stool has been like pudding and actually looks like vanilla putting in color and consistency. A couple of them were harder stools and some came out normal colored and the other half was a wider beige white color. Was wondering if I should take him to the vet or if it was OK? He doesn’t eat a lot of bones at all he has one of those white bones I think they’re called ,where they have peanut butter or marrow in the middle but he barely uses that and he likes h.

Poor Kai! You are correct to be concerned. Diarrhea could be caused by toxin ingestion, parasites, change in diet, infectious diseases, blockage in the gastrointestinal tract caused by ingestion of a foreign body (such as a piece of the bones you mentioned), or a mass/growth in the gastrointestinal tract. I recommend you make an appointment to take Kai in to the vet, and take in a fecal sample from Kai when you go. Your vet will likely want to test the sample to see what kind of parasites Kai may be dealing with so that they can be treated for accordingly. I recommend that you avoid feeding bones, antlers, and similar objects. Make sure with anything you feed Kai that you are able to easily dent the surface with a fingernail, as anything harder than that could lead to fracturing of the teeth or blockage of the gastrointestinal tract.
