How long has it been going on. Has she had a recent tummy upset?

How pale is it? Proper pale or just lighter than normal for her?

Pale poo can signify a problem with bile production, but can also just be a transitory issue due to a mild illness etc that passes pretty quickly.

No hasnt got upset tummy all. Well in herself but has pale poo every few movements was wondering if a problem with liver surely it would mean always pale or would be frequently rather than constantly

It is probably nothing but if it has been going on for a while then I would take her to the doctor. I think it can also be a fat meal or presumably other reasons but i would want to get it checked out.

What Casmama said. If it was very soft or even watery I would say also try removing lactose from her diet for a week and see.
