Hi everyone,
I noticed yesterday morning that my single rabbit Rosie had a good few soft poo's outside of her litter box, the smell was very strong. I cleaned them all up and put her out to graze for the day and when she came in later I held off on the veg in case this caused it but then this morning there were lots more soft poo's again. She is also doing normal poo's as well and her appetite is fine and she is bright in herself . I have been doing lots of grooming with her because she is moulting quite heavily so I thought this could be causing her problems but I dont have any immediate concerns because she is in such good form.
What does worry me is that when I came down this morning Bobby was not himself and refused his pellets and was sitting under the couch which he never does and didnt have any interest in going out in the garden. So I have rang the vet and have booked him in for tomorrow morning. I was keeping an eye on him and noticed when he went back into his dog crate he did lots of soft poo's which smelt very bad just like Rosie's and I am now wondering is it just a coincidence that they both seem to have upset tummies or could they both have the same thing and if so what could it be?I have racked my brains and there has been no change in their diet in the last few days at all. Bobby is eating things like veg and grass but has no interest in his pellets or hay so im also starting to think now could he have problems with his teeth. He is stretched out now in his crate looking very relaxed and content but he still hasnt gone near his pellet bowl. I'm quite worried about him, he has never had health problems before I hope he is not getting gi stasis. I have some critical care and was wondering should I give this to him to boost his fibre intake before the appointment tomorrow? He has not done any normal poo's today, just really soft shiny ones.
Any advice would be much appreciated
