Should I be concerned about this POOP? Cocci?

I haven't been here for a while, glad to see you still up and going.. This is a fantastic site. Maybe you can help me. My issue: New Colony, some dirt, mostly concrete pavers, wire down on dirt, little digging.
3 Does went in at start 2 mos ago. On Sunday March 7, I gave lots of greens, some Broccoli leaves and flowers and some Spanish needle. A bit more than normal. They have free access to pellets and Timothy. On March 9, I noticed some Blob poops. Asked some rabbit friends, they rec: Corrid, since I had not preventive treated at that point. I have 1 Doe with 7 two week old kits (now), and another that had (then)recently been bred. 5 days of Corrid, 7 tsp in 5 gallons. They've been off since Sunday. Poop seems to be similar, maybe a bit more formed now, slight smell. I only find 1-3 a day, so I'm assuming maybe just one rabbit. No symptoms, everyone is eating fine. No greens have been given since that weekend. Posting a picture of the Poop taken March 9, though at the time of pic, it had been stepped on. What are your thoughts. Is it possibly Cocci?

Do you see ANY blood in the poop? If so I'd think Cocci.

It may also just be post-pregnancy poops.

No blood what so ever... At this point, they are just very large poops. Probably double in size, but soft enough to stick a piece of straw through, but formed enough to pick up the straw with no changing of form. -- Thu Mar 17, 2016 6:41 pm -- No blood what so ever...

Do they look like a big cluster? -- Thu Mar 17, 2016 6:54 pm -- Oh I was just able to view the picture. That looks to me just like soft stool, and I would give some old fashioned or quick cooking oats and try to get it back on tract-should work!

Just cut back on pellets and it should resolve on its own. If you see this kinda stuff, the food you are giving is too rich.

A bit harder today, still large, about an inch long. My husband did change food just before this all started. Glad to hear it is probably just a food issue... It's what my gut was telling too.... I sure hope so... I'll keep ya posted. -- Fri Mar 18, 2016 8:44 pm -- A bit harder today, still large, about an inch long. My husband did change food just before this all started.
