I think all my uros have had runny "episodes" from time to time. It's usually is a once or twice thing. I wouldn't say there's anything to indicate stressing about it. If I remember correctly, this is your new liitle addition, and you were planning a trip to the vet anyway. if so, I'd just take him at your originally planned time. As always, watch him to make sure. I'm not one to give medications to an animal unless instructed by a vet, even if it's over the phone.

Good luck,

Just like with people it could just be the stress of the move that is effecting his "digestional process".

I would definitely wait to give him the pancur, but I am also one who is very hesitant to give medication unless it is VERY clear that is the best option.
