Hi Gary,
Have they been checked for Trichomonas foetus? That was the first
thing that came to mind when I read your post. See if this might make sense;

You might be able to stop the actual diarrhea with loperomide, but
that's short term and won't eliminate the cause.
Have they ever lived together? Have they been treated for parasites
even if they don't show up in a fecal? Most worms/parasites only show
intermittantly, so I always try a course of panacur for diarrhea that doesn't
self-limit.
I will think more about it :)
HTH,
Margo
