Fed watermelon and turkey babyfood for the first time last night. Which one do you think caused the runny poo?

It could be the watermelon. Is it sort of reddish?

Have you had your gliders into the vet yet? You might just want to take a sample of that into your vet to get a fecal exam to be on the safe side if it wasn't done already pretty recently.

Give her a piece or two of dry oatmeal (the REAL oatmeal -not instant).

Also give her some UNFLAVORED Pedialyte thru a syringe to make certain she isnt dehydrated. Keep checking for dehydration by pulling up the skin on her neck. If it goes right back down, she is fine. If it stays or goes down very slowly, she is dehydrated and needs Pedialyte.

If the diarrhea keeps up for more than 24 hours, she needs to see a vet. If she hasnt had a wellness exam with fecal float and smear - she really needs to be taken soon.
