How long has it been like this? Does it look a little yellow?

It's been like this about a week. The "yellow" is sort of mixed in with the "normal" colored feces. She seems fine in her behavior.

Sometimes, you will see this with simple stomach upset. It usually means that you are seeing bile mixed in with the fecal matter. This is not really a danger sign as long as it resolves itself within a reasonable amount of time. The body will overproduce bile and pass it through the stool for simple reasons like GI upset and even if she just eats something strange.

I would keep an eye on it but I would not be too concerned at this point.

Let me know if you still have questions.
