It seems that Valkyrie is allergic to chicken. I have at last brought her to the point where she is not eating any of it - or of turkey, just to be safe - and her poop has firmed up once more. It is a difficult spot for her, though, because she is not consistent in what she will eat now, though she most often likes Fussie Cat fish meals, and will consume other brands (eg. Ziwi mackerel) now and then. She not infrequently refuses to eat at dinner-time or snack-time, though she will eat later. It may be a matter of offering her food at irregular intervals, whenever she is hungry. For hard-food, she will accept a duck-and-green-pea variety, though her favourite remains Neville’s veterinary fare - which contains chicken. When she has gotten into something with chicken, the reversion to soft crap is swift. (And I cannot leave the duck-and-pea out at all times because Nev’s reaction is even more liquidy.)
Nonetheless, this is a step forward. We are aware of the problem (at least to my satisfaction at this time) and Valk will eat other, non-poultry food. If she is ever adopted, this knowledge will keep her healthy and hygienic.
