Do you know that the feces pulled by pets can reflect many problems. Let us understand the color and shape of common feces below.
How much do you know about the color of poop:
1. Yellow poop: If the poop is yellow, the dog is basically healthy. It may be that the food the dog eats is high in carbohydrates. If the color of the poop is dark yellow, it may also be due to the destruction of a large number of red blood cells in the dog’s body, resulting in jaundice. At this time, pay attention to it.
2. Orange poo: If there is orange scum in the poo, or part of the poop is orange, it is likely due to poor digestion, which prevents all the food from being absorbed.
3. Brown poop: Brown is a very healthy poop color~ But the food that dogs eat may be high in fat, so you can reduce fat intake in moderation.
4. Red poo: Red is a very dangerous color. First of all, the owner should check whether the dog has blood in the stool caused by anal fissure. If not, then it is likely to be bleeding from the lower gastrointestinal tract of the dog. At this time, it may be necessary to seek medical treatment in time.
5. Green poop: If the dog eats vegetables with high chlorophyll content such as green vegetables and cucumbers, the poop can be green because the chlorophyll cannot be completely digested and absorbed by the stomach. It may also be because the acidity in the intestine is too high, which can also cause the stool to be green.
6. Gray-white stool: Gray-white is a very dangerous color of stool~ If you find that the dog’s stool is “white clay-like” color, it may be jaundice or bile duct obstruction caused by stones, tumors, roundworms, etc., resulting in the inability of biliflavin. When it is discharged casually, it will be grayish white. Of course, there is also a possibility that the stool will be white because you have eaten too many bones to digest.
7. Black poop: Don’t think that black poop is healthy~ Black poop is likely to be caused by bleeding from the dog’s stomach, duodenum, small intestine and other digestive organs.
8. Other colors of poop: Some dog food contains inferior artificial pigments, which will be excreted with the dog’s poop, so dogs who eat these dog foods often eat what color dog food and pull out what color poop ! At this time, you must change the dog food in time
How much do you know about poop shape:
Healthy poop: The shape is cylindrical, and the firmness can be pinched with a paper towel.
Soft stools: If wrapped in a paper towel, it will quickly seep out of the paper towel, leaving marks on the ground.
Reason: The dog may have a cold. If he eats too much or is too cold, it will cause diarrhea.
Slender stool: The stool is much thinner than normal.
Cause: This is a red flag, indicating that the bowel has become narrowed, most likely caused by ingestion of a foreign body.
Inlaid poo: Undigested stuff is embedded in the poop.
Reason: The dog may not be able to digest these things, and it can be dealt with and then fed or not fed them next time.
Muddy stool: Muddy liquid stool. This poo has a strong rancid smell and is brown in color.
Reason: It is very likely to be due to damage to the digestive tract mucosa, pathogen infection and peptic ulcer.
Slime stool: Stool has mucus with air bubbles on it.
Cause: It is most likely caused by severe inflammation of the rectal mucus near the dog’s anus.
Ball-shaped stool: The stool is in the shape of a small ball, the number of bowel movements is reduced, the stool is hard, and only once every 2-3 days. Reason: Insufficient drinking water or improper diet causes the dog to get angry, which will cause dry stools and even difficulty in defecation. Drink more water to reduce the fire.
Watery poo: poop is basically liquid, like running water, with occasional lumps, but the whole is still liquid.
Reason: When dogs have watery stools, be alert to whether it is a harbinger of serious infections such as parvovirus and coronavirus enteritis, and this situation may deteriorate rapidly.
Tar stool: A tarry stool with mucus that is shaped like tar.
Reason: gastrointestinal bleeding, but the time is too long, the blood has coagulated during excretion and mixed with the stool.
