Hi everyone,
One of my buns (I suspect Illy, but it's hard to tell as they're a trio) has been having mushy, smelly poos recently, and I'm at a loss as to what might be causing it.
They all LOVE hay and constantly eat it, are on the same pellets (burgess excel) and the same amount, and have the same greens every morning and again, same amount.
Nothing has changed, but in the last couple of weeks, mounds of smelly poo keep appearing. They're not cetotrophs, and the best way to describe them would be to say they're like normal poops, but sludgier and less golden. The smell isn't pleasant.
I've tried not giving greens/giving less greens/less pellets etc and it hasn't seemed to have much impact.
Any advice or thoughts please? All are fine in themselves, though I need to take them to the vet this week to get their nails trimmed—obviously I will ask then but as this will be a new vet to us, I would appreciate your input. I am worried this might be a signal of a greater issue.
