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? Mary 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. [Posted in FML issue 1574]
