Hi

How much should my buns tum gurgle? My nethie's tum seems to be constantly gurgling and im wondering if he needs checked out. He seems ok in himself but has had a bit of a poopy bum over the past few weeks.

Thanks

Some gurgling is normal, especially whilst drinking. But the poopy bum is indicative of a possible problem, usually diet related or to do with the Buns teeth.
As your Bun is a Nethie I would advise you get her teeth checked out by your Vet. Nethies are prone to Dental problems due to the shape of their skull.
What do you feed her ?

He eats science selective for dwarf buns, curly kale and hay. He has been gurgling like mad when he is just sitting there. I think you are right and I should take him to the vet for a wee check up.

Thanks:)
 
Have just read your post - thanks for the link. If he was new to me or a young bun then I would maybe think it was just 'him' but I have had him for more than 5 years and I haven't changed his diet.

I'm sure it is nothing, but I think there will be no harm in getting him a wee check up.

Thanks:)
