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: Visible pieces of food in stool, sometimes greasy or loose.
Potential Causes: Weak Spleen Qi, rapid intestinal transit, or improper food breakdown.
TCM Interpretation:
- Spleen Qi Deficiency: Poor transformation of food into nutrients.
- Food Stagnation: Overeating or heavy foods overwhelm digestion.
