Hello,

I just looked in smiley's water dish and found this. It looks like white, stringy, liquid mozzarella cheese. Here is a pic.

I am panicking.

Thank you for your timely reply. I guess I had always expected the poop to be the brown turds that I am used to. I was freaking out, but thank you.

Urates come from the urine and are not poop, so you were kinds correct about "the brown turds your use to". These urates look like they should, now if they looked gritty, that would be cause for some concern as it shows dehydration.

Oh, now I know what they look like now. That would have freaked me out also if I found that in Bowsers water dish. Now I'm prepared for another thing that could happen :)

I was so freaked out that Smiley threw up, or that my son had fed her cheese or something. I just wasn't prepared to see that.
