Hair in poo

So Hope has passed a few small poos and they are strung together by hair, does this change anything? Can I help in any way?

A little pineapple seems to do the trick with mine.I also give them papya tablets daily

I posted on your other thread but basically when a rabbits GI tract starts to slow down the ingested hair that would normally pass straight through begins to collect together. If the rabbit dehydrates it will clump into a hard dry mass, forming a blockage and making the use of gut stimulants dangerous.

The fact it is passing is good news but you must keep syringing her liquids, warm water is fine.

'Furballs' in rabbits are secondary to stasis rather than a cause.

Great thanks Sooz she is drinking loads of water and now I know why
