Shichon puppy poop looks like deer poop pellets

[StephanieC]

In the last week or so, we have seen our puppy cooper has been pooping more pellet style. This is quite different than what he was pooping before, which was more log like. He is pooping 2x/day and has a good schedule around it. BEAM is good and no other issues as such. The yellow discharge of throw-ups hasnt happened in last few days (my earlier post) either. But just surprising to see deer poop like pellets for the first time. Anything to read from this?

Great news about the symptom (stool shape) shift and no vomiting!

If the change in stools is not related to something new in the diet, it may just indicate that he is internally shifting/growing.

The best strategy may be to wait and watch.

However, definitely bring him to Dr. Trish if you are concerned or if his BEAM decreases.

Thanks @Dr. Jeff . He is doing well just this change. We have an appt with Dr Trish for a blood test that was scheduled a while ago.
