What does normal poo look like? I'm worried. (PICS)

[Roja]

Hi again folk.. Roja has always had very regular, long log-like poo, dark in color with a chunk of white, fairly firm with little smell. Last week she wnt a whole day and 1/2 with none. (she was going 2x a day before).

When she did finally go again, it was a large, round mound like a mini cow-pat tie and incredibly smelly.. They never stunk that bad before. She then skipped a day again and again.. Large round mound. Smelling up the room. The whole week she only went 2 or 3 times, always the same.

Yesterday it was real crazy looking, almost like a casing was around it and again.. SO smelly. I'm making a vet appt to check for parasites, but do I bring her in AND some dried poo, or just her or just the poo?

What do u guys think?

It looks pretty normal to me. The light brown colored blob is kinda off though. You want to take her and fresh poo to the vet. You can put a fresh sample in a zip lock baggie and store it in the fridge until you are ready to go. Dried poo isn't good for a fecal.
