| IS my 3 mo. old Yorkie going to get sick from RABBIT droppings? We have a TON of rabbits where I live, and now that the snow is melting a bit, Scruffy is starting to eat the droppings!!?! I really try NOT to let him do this, but sometimes it's inevitable especially since he runs when I tell him NOT TO DO IT, and he gobbles them up as fast as he can (it has become a game) he really knows he's not suppose to do it. He is going in next week for his 3rd set of shots.......but I am concerned with him getting some kind of worm or something. Thanks!! |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | it is possible that the rabbit poop could cause diarrhea or intestinal parasites. morgan loves rabbit poop too so i take her outside on a leash so i can pull her away from the poop and tell her no. she does better about eating the poop when she's leashed as opposed to roaming free

| Bunny Poop! We had a rabbit that past away last year, but when she was alive both my kids ate her poop every now and then. I have all the furkids poop checked once a year or sooner if I feel its needed, but nothing ever came up. But of course our Bunny was also check yearly, now had it been wild rabbits that's different I would take my Yorkies poop to get checked. I do this now when I see there have been cats pooping in my yard, I wait one week before taking in the poop for a more accurate reading.

| rabbit droppings My dog became very ill from eating rabbit poop. He developed round worms, and had diarreah. Had to go to the vet and get on antibiotics. I thought his heartworm medicine protected him against it, but I was wrong. I ended up changing his heartworm medicine. Be careful, and keep a close watch on your dog. Get a blood test if you suspect anything suspicious.

| mine too Both my furkids act like the rabbit poop is a new kind of treat. I couldn't figure out last night what they were eating, and this morning in the light.......We have a ton of rabbits at our place too, and I think they all poop in the front pen where I let my babies out. |
