Why is my dog's poop pale after starting allergy oil for allergies?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Not necessarily. As long as he is doing well and does not seem in discomfort when defecating, it should be ok. I would make sure though that his water intake is appropriate as dry feces can sometimes be a sign of decreased water intake. Good luck and have a great day!

That could be compatible with a disease of the liver, responsible for he pigments inside the feces. I would recommend to change diet for the next week, feeding with a bland diet based on chicken and rice. If signs persist a check up and blood tests at your local vets are required.

The signs seems settling so I would not be extremely concerned at this stage. As a first approach, I would suggest to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.

It should run its course and stop eventually. If she is behaving normally otherwise, you can try a 24 hour fast. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet, in small, frequent amounts. Begin with 1 tablespoon of food and gradually increase the amount. Feed bland until the stool is normal, then transition slowly to her regular diet. Since she has an allergy to chicken, you can use cooked/drained ground beef and equal parts plain white rice (cooked). You will need to see your veterinarian if the diarrhea persists or if Darby develops lethargy, vomiting, loss of appetite or abdominal pain.

From what your are describing it sounds like Snowball has a potential food allergy. it will not be confirmed until she has been on the hypoallergenic food for at least 6 weeks. But solid feces with only a small amount of mucus sounds like she is improving. Make sure not to give her any treats or table scraps while she is on her food trial as this will confuse the results.

Any severe allergic reaction such as an anaphylactic reaction would occur within 15 mins to a few hours of coming into contact with something they are allergic to. If this period passed and no serious signs (swollen face, trouble breathing, etc) appeared Buster should be alright. Hopefully his poop returns to normal within the next day or two. I would just continue monitoring Buster and hopefully he feels better! Hope this helps! -Dr. Gordon
