Please Note - Medical Advice
Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.
Can you post a photo? :wave:
To be honest, because Rose is only 3 months old I'd defnitely look at at least ringing the vets, because diarrhoea is very serious in young buns (not trying to panic you!), and if it diarrhoea then she'd need to see a vet ASAP.
A photo would help though! :wave:
I've tried to get a photo but the lighting is useless so nothing is really clear.
Already in a panic! She'll be off to the vets if it's diarrhoea, I just want to make sure I'm not overreacting to cecals! She's had them before though and they've not looked like this.
Does flash help? :wave:
How does Rose seem in herself? Does she seem 'OK' in temperament etc, not showing any signs of discomfort? :wave:
She seems fine in herself.. Flash was on.. I'll post the photo I managed to get once I find my phone (misplaced it in my panic )
Just saw your update, edited my post but you were too quick :lol:
Don't panic, panicing achieves nothing in situations like this. Staying calm is the best way, that way you're not affecting Rose as well as if she's inside she'll probably be picking up on your nerves!
They don't look like either cecals or diarrhoea really, do they?! :? I don't really know what to say, to be honest! They do look quite wet and watery, but I suppose some of that is flash isn't it? And the newpsaper is wet as well, is this bunny wee?
I think that's wee yes.
There was also 15 or so normal golden fecal pellets compared to the couple of odd ones, so I don't think it's cecals or diarrhoea.. But I don't know what it is!
That's good that there is normal poos there as well. it doesn't sound like diarrhea then, does it? hm. Strange!
If you are in any doubt at all, I would take her to the vet - she's very young and rabbits go downhill extremely quickly.
My bunny had poo a bit like this after I caught her eating woodlice in the garden, maybe your buns' been nibbling on some bugs? :L
