So, we just finally are fully switched over to raw, as of 2 days ago, and Maz hasn't pooped since then! She's been peeing plenty, and seems perfectly fine and energetic, but no poop at all. Is this normal? Previously when we had her on Royal Canin, she was having diarrhea 2 or 3 times a day. Then we switched her to a grain free, and she pooped maybe once or twice a day, and it was much firmer. Now we've fully switched, and she hasn't pooped at all. Is this normal? Like I said, she doesn't seem to be acting off at all, and she's been eating like a horse! We're using Primal freeze-dried Chicken and Salmon nuggets.
Just fully switched to raw, and now Maz isn't pooping?

@Anna Kate , hopefully others will chime in soon -
@Xandria is a raw feeder and hopefully can chime in -
(I have heard they don't poo as much as when they are on commercial kibble )

@Anna Kate I don't do the raw diet, so i can't answer if that is normal after finally switching over. I'm sure that others using raw will give you their opinions. I certainly would speak to your vet if no poo tomorrow though.

Probably her tummy has to get to used to the new diet and is this the reason why she doesn't poop. Does she drink enough water? Do yousee her try pooping without being succesfull? If not I would wait another day to see what happens. My boys eat raw food. They poop solid poops twice a day. I heard from others that the first poops can be very solid and canbe diffificult to "get out".
Come Maz, poop, poop now

.Your chant worked!! She just pooped! It seems all is well in kitty-land! And, thank sweet-baby-jesus it was solid, and didn't smell at all. It's a miracle! She's had the RANKEST loosest poops since we got her. This food has been great, for sure.

@Anna Kate Woohoo for solid poop! Well done Maz. What a relief after all those loose poop. And I know the smell...with raw food is so much better!

Don't be worried, it could be because of the changeover. When our boys were on raw, sometimes they would only have a small poo everyday, or a even every other day. Definitely a lot less poop.
But they do pee a lot!! Haha
