Bathing and poop

[saranita]

Ok so Rylee has been waiting a few days between bowel movements so I started giving her daily baths to help, every 3 days or so she would go in the bath which is good, little trouble was noticed in the effort. However today I had her on the counter and She pooped by herself, the only problem is before the actual poop came out, a whole puddle of water did! I'm wondering if this could be caused by the baths I've been giving her lately since she hasnt had one in months before recently (I spray her when she sheds and feed her water every few days usually) any advice would be greatly appreciated, as far as I could tell the poop itself was normal except for the fact it was wet (didnt look liquidy but like what it does in the bath because its surrounded by water) thank you for any help!

I can tell you i have been giving Malibu a bath everyday for over 3 years and she is trained to go in the bath now and will not go any where else.
She is healthy and hydrated as they absorb water through thier vents so i think a little water is norm...also if you feed iceburg lettuce poop will be runny.Have you had a fecal done before?

I have and she was treated for pinworms and ringworms once and coccidia twice but her poop changed after the second treatment so as far as i know she's clean now. If they absorb water through their vent then I am pretty positive it is from the more frequent baths I have been giving her.

Hydration is a good thing!
