My puppy is due to have her first booster in the morning. However, her poo has been loose since yesterday. I have discovered that it is because she has been helping herself to some of our rabbits droppings (which must have blown out of their outside pen!). She is on a light diet of chicken and rice and is perfectly well in herself. But I am wondering if I should leave her booster until next week when her tummy should be back to normal? Any advice will be much appreciated :-)

I would postpone it as they need to be in good health when you bombard their bodies with vacs, a few more days isn't going to make much odds.

I'd wait a few days as well - just to be on the safe side

Thank you for replying, I will delay her appointment until next week then.

Many dogs will eat both pet rabbit and guinea pig droppings due to the high vitamin content.  It is not an unusual habit.

If you watch carefully, both rabbits and guineas will carefully reach under to take a pellet and eat it before it hits the ground.  Memory ain't what it was, but I am convinced that it's Vit B.

>both rabbits and guineas will carefully reach under to take a pellet and eat it before it hits the ground.

I don't know about piggies but rabbits do two sorts of poo; the soft pellets that have only been through the system once get re-eaten (usually produced ovrenight) and these then form the hard 'smarties' that you find on the ground, and are almost entirely fibre.

Yes, have heard of them doing that - and do see them delving around under there lol.

The strange thing I have noticed, is that when our two rabbits first get put out in their pen, they do a cluster of soft brown poos that are stuck together, I wondered if this was their way of marking their territory? But they do look as if they are the poos that you mention that they are supposed to eat? Sorry to anyone reading this who may be having a late lunch!

Yes Jean, Piggies do the same - two types of pellets, the first soft and unfinished and the second, a hard(ish) pellet ;)
