They can get coccidia. I've got both Jolie & Jen on meds right now because of it. Jen had gotten so sick she was at the hospital for 3 days on IV. Jolie is a poop eater and since they share toys, kiss & eat out of eachother's bowls, Jen got it.

If Ella starts to throw up and have diaherra, take her to the doc (with a poop sample). Coccidia is a microscopic parasite.

Now I don't know if she can get it from a one time poop tasting but she can get it even if she eats her own.

Here is a couple of links about it:
