Normal droppings are black or brown, oval, smooth, with tiny pores, soft at first then hardening in 1-2 hours. Formless or persistently soft stool means soft stool.
For mild cases, reduce fruits, vegetables, and snacks, feeding only alfalfa and timothy, and observe 2-3 days; if no improvement, see a vet.
