Probably just some mucuous...nothing to worry about so long as he's acting normal.

In future, I'd cook the sweet potato before putting it in his kong. My two LOVE mashed sweet potato.

 

yes, they can't process that at all. Probably just some mucus from raw potato passing through.

 

oh good! this prolly sounds gross that i know this but with humans mucus in the stoll is a very bad thing so it worried me.
yeh he had chunks of sweet potato in his stool.
he doesnt get it often and i figured raw was healthier.

 

Yep, like everyone said the mucous is not super bad or anything, it just means something irritated him. I've given my dogs sweet potatos before, and it always makes their poop super soft and I can always see orange hunks in it. Probably why I have not given them sweet potato in awhile, lol.

 

Wait, so sweet potato don't interfere with the raw diet?

 

It all depends on the dog.

When a dog is more sensitive the no it shouldn't be added. But some dogs have have anything thrown at them and be perfectly fine!:wink:

 

I think sweet potatoe is comparabiel to pumpkin which is healthy fiber.
WHFoods: Sweet potatoes

 

like everybody else said, it's perfectly fine, they can't break heavy carbs like that down especially if they are raw, so they will pass them through and the bowel just kinda coats it as it would an irritant. crazy stuff.. goes to show what they were really meant to eat :lol:

Mine goes Bananas...for "steamed bananas" refrozen and then stuffed into his kong.
