[Dailydrool] Follow-up on Bo and the avocado green poop

[Val Brewer]

Thank you to all who wrote me about "green poop". (I agree with Beth--it sounds 
like the beginning of a Dr. Seuss book). Among the diagnostic causes for such a 
thing were mostly benign things: ate something with green food coloring in it 
like certain dog biscuits or greenies, ate something with a lot of fat on it, 
something passed through the digestive system without being digested, and some 
less benign things: poisoning, inflammatory bowel disease. (Bo does have IBD). I 
called my vet, who advised me that if Bo otherwise looked fine, to check the 
color of the next poop and call him if it was bright green too. It wasn't. The 
conclusion was "it must have been something he ate when you weren't looking'. 
Ah, bassets.
