Liquorice been catrated yday and is very quiet today....he is eating and drinking a little and weeing and pooing.

In his litter tray today i have noticed 3 or 4 lumps of sqidgy, mushy poo.

I am hoping that its cecotrophes and he is unable to eat them due to being sore from ydays operation.

what the difference between diorehha and cecotrophes? would i know the difference?

Its quite normal after a GA, stasis, medication or diet change for a rabbit to pass some unformed ceacal pellets. Provided they clear up in a couple of days dont worry.
 
I've had 5 buns go through nueter/spay ops and all have had a few of those squidgy lumps in the 24 hours post-op, but there have also been normal ones scattered around as well. I put it down to me giving them all sorts of tempting treats in my desperation to keep them eating:roll:
