Hazel is a continental giant cross, female, 1year 3months old.
She has been eating normally (no diet changes apart from a couple of leaves of pak Choy??) she is still active.
A few months ago she lost a lot of weight (she was 6kg ish but now is around 4.5/5ish! ) and hasn't put it on since despite being fed extra pellets, hay and pieces of banana now and then. She had been to the vet and he cant find anything wrong with her...! I trust him he's a brilliant rabbit savvy vet.
She has been wormed, spayed, vaccinated.
She has dark, wet stools which are extremely 'squishy' and when she has accidentally stood on them they almost look like diarrhoea.
Her bum is slightly dirtier than normal but I still think she is capable of grooming herself.
I lost my first bunny to GI stasis and I'm so worried that it's going to happen again. I don't know if this is stasis though as she still eats normally and wees/poos but the poo is different to normal as said before.
Her bonded neutered friend is normal hasn't lost weight and still passes round golden poos.
I've tried putting probiotics in the water but she won't touch it if I do. I've also tried syringe feeding probiotics and critical care just to give her a boost, but I know this stressed her out and I try to avoid it as she still eats normally by herself.
Please help with what to do next?
