Ugh

I don't know what to do, Murphy has started pooping as soon as she's done eating. This just started 2 days ago. She's just over 5 months old & has been on BB Freedom for a few months now. Previously she was on BB lamb & oatmeal. Now the last 2 days has been rainy & icky so I don't know if that contributes to this or not. Prior to this she'd eat & then play for 20-40 minutes before asking to go out. I don't understand. Any insight will be helpful. Also, we clean the mess & then clean the floor with Nature's Miracle. Also her poop looks good, solid & no signs of worms (thank god).

Maybe that's just her new routine?
My Maggie always poops right after her supper. It's just the time.
Remember kibble takes like 15 hours to digest or so? So she's not pooping out her current meal - it's from prior

Did you recently increase how much food she gets? Maybe she's more "full" now and needs to make room for her newly eaten meal?

Yea, maybe just the new routine. I would put her out before you feed her whether she appears to want to go out or not.

I agree with Winnie. Outside before eating.

I will try the outside right before eating. We haven't increased her food any. It did dawn on me as I was getting ready to leave & giving the girls a treat, we recently got duck BB Wilderness treats. Neither of the girls get much treats so the more I think about it, I don't think it is the treats. Thanks everyone
