Normal sized but is it normal consistency or too hard? In Oakville the temperatures must be starting to get warmer so make sure there is access to plenty of water. Ask you vet on next checkup & bring in stool sample, although I doubt it's anything if they are still going eventually.

I agree with the others. She may be squeezing out a very small amount of pee to mark her territory. If her bowel movements look dry or she isn't going once or twice a day, then you know that she is constipated. Be sure to check it right after she goes though for it will dry out pretty quick. If she is constipated, try giving her a little more soft food. You may want to try half soft and half kibble.

Is she scraping her backside along the floor at all? It may be worth getting her an.al glands checked just to be sure.
