What could have caused this?

When i went out to do the bunnies this morning Minky had diahroea, the was some on her playhouse floor & she was in quite a mess underneath.
I cleaned her up & then gave her some pro-biotics, blackberry leaves & willow. Also gave her lots of fresh hay & haven`t given her any pellets today.
She`s fine in herself, eating & drinking normally & within a couple of hours was back to passing normal healthy golden poos.

But i`m totally miffed as to what could have caused it & the fact that her poos have returned to normal so quick?
She had nothing different in her diet yesterday, she did have a small piece of brocolli with her veg last night but has had this before & always tolerated it fine, plus in my experience if they have an adverse reaction to brocolli they normally get bloat & gas build up, rather than the runs.

Fortunately she`s fine now, but i just wondered if anyone had any ideas what could have caused her upset tummy?

Hmm strange. i am in that postition to. My rabbit gave birth this morning and she had alot of diahroea which has worried me as she has not had it before. I have cleaned out her toilet area and put fresh shavings down and keeping a check on her every hour her back end was in a right mess and i did not want to fuss over her with her just giving birth. Also boiled some rice and put the cooled rice water into her normal water bottle hopefully to dry her up a little.

Hope you find out what it is soon so if it is anything you gave her you could cut it out of her diet. Glad to hear she is ok now though could of been a one off just like us people :roll:
