As long as she is eating, drinking, playing, etc and pooping, and you are
picking through the feces, we are probably okay.  This may change fairly
quickly, so be vigilant.  Thin poop may be the result of a partial
blockage, or it may be the result of not eating as much as usual.
 
When everything returns to normal, you may breathe again.
 
With kindest regards,
