Attitude appears well but her fur keeps getting dirty and it looks like she's having loose poops, I'm not finding any diarrhea in the box so I'm wondering if it's just poop getting stuck in her long butt fur or if she really is having loose poops or diarrhea. I clean her butt up and then she gets dirty again. I'm also wondering if it's just because she isn't grooming back there because she's fat and lazy. I will sometimes find small pieces of normal poop stuck on her rear in the stains. It's about once a week at most that I have to clean her. Not sure if it's a daily thing with the loose poops since I let her go up to a week without cleaning her(she also doesn't always allow me to look back there because she knows what happens when I do but it doesn't seem to get any worse if I don't clean her immediately.)
Should I see if changing her food helps or should I take her to the vet? This has been happening for months so she isn't sick, she's as fat and happy as ever, I'm just sick of having to clean her rear end up I'm about ready to shave her entire rear end bald. She doesn't like baths or me cleaning her back there(with waterless shampoo but she needs a full bath at the moment, her fur is starting to look discolored all over) so that only adds to the fun. I'm just wondering if a change in food(gradually obviously) might help because she might not be handling the NB like she used to. She has never gone outside the box and like I said I have never found diarrhea in the box so I'm just wondering if it's just her fur.
