Question Pancreatitis - Other causes than high fat in diet?

Hi everyone,
Just picked up my Ted this am from ER hospital. He spent the night on IV and meds for pancreatitis. I took all three of my "kids" in yesterday due to stomach problems of one sort or another.
I thought Ted was fine. Just wanted to be sure the black tar poo wasn't serious. It is. That was the only symptom he has. He is active, playing, eating, doing fine other than the BLACK TAR poo.
The blood work and xray performed confirmed the pancreatitis dx.
I picked him up this morning and was to take him directly to my vet to continue on fluids and my vet is out of town. During the phone conversation Ted licked his catheter out of his arm - a head's up would have been nice - I didn't realize he still HAD the catheter!! I scooped him up and took him to the nearest vet hospital/clinic where he is now. Stable.
He only eats Spot's Stew for Dogs. ONLY and tomatoes for a treat. Organic grape tomatoe in slices. That is IT. No other food.
Could he be eating bunny rabbit turds?? We have a baby bunny in back yard? I am going crazy. Thanks for all the help !!!
