Interpretation

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the appearance, consistency, and odor of a furry friend's stool can provide insights into their overall health and balance of Qi (vital energy), as well as the state of their internal organs. Here's how TCM interpret certain characteristics of furry friend's poop:

Characteristics: Small, dry, pebble-like stools, often passed with difficulty.

Potential Causes: Dehydration, low dietary fiber, Kidney or Large Intestine imbalance, excess heat in the digestive tract.

TCM Interpretation:

• Large Intestine Dryness: Lack of Yin or body fluids.
• Yin Deficiency: Insufficient cooling or hydrating forces in the body.
• Qi Stagnation: Reduced peristalsis or energy flow in the intestines.
