Boy there sure seems to be no end to the varieties of green poop.
VET Question: I am sorry I don't have more particulars but a friend of
mine's 3 yr old Festus is having a fight with diareha(sp?).  The poop is
very dark and runny with a definite green mucousy look to it.  To make
matters worse I have seen a little bit of this in my own.  She took in two
fuzzies to find them homes.  Since then one of her younger ones was having
trouble but seems to have beat this on his own.  I handled the rescue
fuzzies as well but have only seen infrequent signs of this recently.
Festus is at the vets after having lost about half his body weight and the
vet is stumpted.  He is not responding to antibiotics which she switched to
something that works better for proliferitive colitis (I think that's what
she said).  He is not putting on weight at all though he still eats a little
and he seems lethargic.  I dont think this is ECE.  How many other things
can cause these symptoms?  Parasites?(the vet checked and there was one I
think but it was maybe a common one that antibiotics should have taken care
of) Bacteria?  Viruses?

P.S.  Giesela seems to love the cracked corn she occassionally finds tracked
on the back porch from the critter mix I put out.  I take it away from her
as I worry about blockages of course.  How anyone thinks these animals could
live in the wild I don't know - one acorn or something and it would be
curtains.
