Wow....that's very interesting. Max doesn't have diarrhea, but I'm almost certain that he eats rabbit poop when he goes out to go to the bathroom! And I just started trying to change him over from his Hill's Prescription W/D dry food to EVO low fat dry food. He was fine until the other evening when I gave him just the EVO for his evening snack instead of mixing it with anything. But that night, I could tell he didn't feel good; he kept moving all around during the night and I could feel his abdomen "lurching" (for want of a better word). He didn't vomit then, but yesterday morning he did after he ate breakfast. He was gone for 4 hours to the groomer's and was fine, we took him with us to dinner and he was fine, where he had his own food for dinner, got home, gave him his regular W/D food b/c I was afraid the EVO had upset his tummy. Awhile later, he vomited 3 times before we went to bed~ slept fine, but vomited again at around 4:30 am. He's fine in every other way...peeing, pooping, eating (I gave him half the amount of his normal breakfast and gave him I/D instead) and so far, he's been fine this morning. I was searching this topic to see about giving Pepto Bismol, but maybe the rabbit poop is the problem.
Did your vet say what to do for it or are you just waiting til you go into the vet this next week to check it out? I'm going to watch Max and see and if he has anymore problem we'll go to the vet's. I'm trying to figure out how to get him to stop eating the rabbit poop!
