[nagdu] Food Change

[Hannah Chadwick]

Tracy,
She sometimes tries to squeeze and it takes a few seconds for the stool to
come out. I've been putting a little water in the food and I'm thinking it
will help. The stool is smaller but that's to be expected because it is a
higher quality and she gets less since it contains more callories.

Hi Hannah.
What do you mean by having difficulty going potty?  Is she standing there
for a couple minutes?  Does she seem to be straining to get it out? Or is it
just small?
High-quality foods do produce less stool, because more of the food is
digested.
If she seems constipated, I'd be a bit concerned, but otherwise not.
