Hello again everyone,
Lola is still eating 80 10 10 well, she is putting on weight, she is bright and happy. It has now been 7 days since she has been transitioned and her poops still are not great. Still lots of undigested fat seeds in most of her bowel movements. They are formed, no diarrhoea or anything, just seeds inside. She did have a small mucousy poop this morning, but I did give her 2 freeze dried turkey treats last night (normally only give her one, maybe 2 was too much? we were doing trick training and I got carried away!). I know raw is best for her and I dont want to go back to kibble but I also dont want her getting sick if she is not digesting any fats which I know are important. So my questions are, after 7 days in is this normal, what can I do to help, and how long should I give this. I do have salmon oil which just arrived yesterday, should I introduce this to help with fats? Or not introduce something new at this time. I am ordering more raw food tomorrow, I am going to go for single protein sources and order a chicken, a duck, a turkey, and a lamb complete, as opposed to right now where I am using completes with 2 protein sources, eg chicken and salmon complete, duck and lamb complete.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated, thank you all so much!

Concerning seedy poops--- you might catch the protein that is doing this( if it is a protein) by going for a few days on a single protein. While I have experienced this on occasion with mine, it never lasted any long length of time, so I do not feel qualified to say much on it. Not from a vet site, but here is this. friendlyferret.com/ferret-poop/#Seedy_Ferret_PoopSeedy Ferret Poop The most common abnormal ferret poop is seedy ferret poop. This type of poop is also called grainy ferret poop. It usually happens when you change your ferret’s diet. It can be a different kibble or complete kibble to raw meat transition. Seedy ferret poop usually means that your ferret didn’t digest food properly, it came too quickly through the system and it usually means undigested fats. When it happens due to the change in diet, it is nothing to worry about. But, if your ferret experiences grainy ferret poop and you didn’t change the diet, then the problem is something else. It could be stress, but it could also be parasites or some other digestive problems. If seedy ferret poop continues, go to the vet for a checkup.
