I just posted that info because I wanted to make sure we looked at the issue seriously, and didn't just dismiss it as a dietary thing if there was something else involved. I wanted the OP to read that article and look for any of the other signs, just in case she's actually sick and we missed it.

Oh, sorry, there is another 'diarrhea' Infirmary thread, I thought you meant to post it there.
And yeah, after looking at the Megacolon links, it seemed a lot more serious than I gave it credit for. As noted, it's not just 'large poops'.
But also note that in the article we both linked (DUH! Sorry I didn't see that you had linked that one already!) says that equally if not more serious (and more common) than coccidiosis is enterotoxemia, also called 'carbohydrate overload of the hindgut', which I believe is the 'gut imbalance' often discussed on this forum, so "just diet related" can't be dismissed as not really sick. It can be deadly.
Seriously... I really would like a description of the smell of coccidiosis vs. the smell of cecals.
But just not in this thread.
I'm also curious re: the composition of the large 'megacolon' poops, like in this case.
This is an interesting discussion. We should carry it on elsewhere.
Sorry to BooBoo for going off topic.
