Hello! I'm a worried mom with 2 Hermann babies!
The younger one (Panda George) is 6 months old, and the older one (Shiao-Heh) is about 18 months old. The older is the one who has been having running poop for more than 2 weeks! I'm really worried because Shiao-Heh has been pooping really soft poop, almost look like diarrhea, and started from yesterday, it seemed like she was pooping a little bit at a time all over the place... I found tiny poop residue (?) here and there in their home.
I read some other posts on the forum and they said it might be because of the change of diet. I did started feeding them Mazuri twice a week about 4-5 weeks ago (each time they share 1 Mazuri, so one of them only got half of it, actually). I didn't think Mazuri caused the running poop because Panda George is still pooping fine. That's why I can't figure out what happened. They live together and eat the same food. Should I be worried about it? Shiao-Heh is still full of energy, running around all the time, eating like a little monster, and her eyes look clear, doesn't seem like she is getting sick.
Whenever I found her with running poop in the past 2 weeks, I picked her up and rinse her butt under warm running water to clean her butt... is it bad for her? Should I bring her to the vet? I'm not sure if the vet would see her since she is only 18 month old...
Sorry about all these questions. Hopefully I'm just over reacting.
Please give me some suggestion... I really appreciate it!!
