Thank you for the advice! I really appreciate it and will do those things (and maybe cut out the orange peel). 🙂

It’s been a week now, she improved quite a bit, but not fully there yet. Her poop has been pretty regular in size until now I noticed a couple stringed poop and some small ones, i am wondering if this is the before or after effect?
