I am known for being paranoid about things anyway but...
my bun smokey is nearly 13 weeks, eating and drinking well etc.
He has unlimited pellets, hay and a few dried treats. Sometimes theres a few excess caecals in the morning, if he doesnt eat them after a while I remove them so they dont get stuck to his fur.
Yesterday there were quite a few caecals, today not as many (2 'bunches') in his cage, but when he was running about on the carpet he did another and only ate a bit of it, so i cleared the rest up. same happened when he sat on the dvd player, he ate some but left a bit. when I cleared it off I noticed a couple of what looks like tiny dots of urine, but on wiping it up i think it is pooey. I looked at his bum and there was a tiny bit of poo in the fur but i would think he will clean that off easily.
So my question is, its not diarrhoea, but is it normal to have a tiny amount of liquid with caecals. I have seen him pass ceacals this morning so I know they are looking normal, and will check to see if he passed hard poos too.
I just know how sensetive they are, would you worry about a tiny tiny amount of 'liquidy/smeared poo. It was only obvious because of where he happened to do it otherwise I wouldnt have seen as was a tiny smeary bit.
I'll keep an eye and pbv go to vets if I see anything bad, can I assume we are ok if I see him pass normal caecals and hard pellets? he sometimes eats the hard ones too, is that normal?
thanks
