Poops that look granular and big?

[starrynight0621]

Lately Orville has had large poops that are a strange texture. These poops are about twice as wide as usual, and they are the same length as before. They taper off on the ends into points.

They also look shiny and granular, like they have a texture of sand. They were a little squishy. I took his hay away for now.

Should I be concerned about this? I haven't done anything different with his diet, I have no idea why it changed...

I wouldn't take away the hay. If anything I would just feed hay. Have you been giving treats?

Have you had him tested for giardia?

I meant I took his pellets away, whoops! Not his hay. He has plenty of that.

Glad to hear about the typo. I was worried about the no hay idea.

good idea!

I can't get him to the vet until the weekdays... is it ok if I don't go tomorrow, or is this an ASAP-emergency kind of thing?

I'm not sure. Sorry
