Upset tummy

For the last couple of days Jacob has had a bit of an upset tummy. He is well, bouncy, eating, drinking etc, no change behaviour wise. He is going to the loo normally, it isn't matting round his bum but it is fairly loose, not liquid though.

I have stopped greenstuff, he will eat a bit of hay but not lots so can't really do just hay as he will be hungry. He has this afternoon been having a good hay nibble.

He has Russel rabbit carrot and leak, I know not good, but he won't eat anything else though today I bought him science selective to try though i won't until he is 100% tummy wise.

is there anything else I should do. Should I be at the vets?

He is sunbathing at the mo, seems absolutely fine in himself, not tonnes of upset stuff but enough for me to notice and worry a bit.

Thanks.
 
Hiya. As Jacob doesn't eat much hay he may well have some small spurs on his molar teeth. A bun will often get runny poos when they have oral discomfort. Perhaps a trip to the Vets to check Jacobs teeth might be a good idea. As he is still bright and eating/drinking I dont think he sounds to be in lots of pain but maybe his mouth is a bit uncomfortable if there is a sharp bit of tooth that catches his cheek/tongue now and then. You could try adding some probiotic to his water but from what you describe I suspect his problem is not in his Tum but in his mouth. Jane and Buns xx
