Should I be worried about this...

[MnJ]

My Mylo lost some weight while he was on treatment for mites. I was giving him cc occasionally if he dropped more weight. His weight is stable now and he is close to the 1240g he was originally, but while he is gaining and keeping his weight, his poops are smaller than usual. Is this normal or something that needs to be checked out?

I’m glad Mylo is doing better. I’ve attached the poop guide. Hope it helps.

Hopefully it will sort itself out now he’s eating better.

That is actually my concern he is eating well his weight is stable for a while now, but his poops are still smaller. I have gotten him of veg for couple days, but it's still the same.

As long as his weight is stable and he’s ok in himself I’d just keep a close eye on things. I read somewhere on the forum that short but plump poops are ok.

Are they shorter or thinner than normal?

Thinner poops means lack of food intake
