bunnies can **** yes :wave:
When my bun Mae was suffering from bloat she did some nasty farts
She also produced piles of the poo you are describing, these were mucousy. Does she have any mucouse (sorry about my spelling) in her poo at all?
If you arent ready to do bood tests I think I would put her on a hay ony diet and add some pro biotic (like biolapis) to her water and see how things go :wave:

i dont know if it will help, but casper trys to eat lots of grass when he has a bad tummy, i feed him dried apple leaves and bramble leaves which when he has a bad tum he scoffs down! I think he feels he needs more fibre, It may not help but i thought it may be worth seeing if thats what your bun fancys to eat? somtimes they know what they need xx

thanks for the reply, she is hungry but she just wont eat pellets or basically any fibre, do you mean bramble leaves straight from a bramble bush?
beccimarie
Mama Doe
yup
thumps_ has taught me and casper alot about leaves and they have helped casper so so much, casper has to have a high dose of metacam each day and this made his poop runny, but with apple leaves and bramble leaves he now has big golden poops Try to get some that are not near car fumes, and i usally wash them then dry them out either on and nice day or in the airing cupboard to make them nice and crunchy also pets at home do a bag of apple leaves which i have been getting untill the hawthorn and willow leaves come out for casper As casper has dental issues this is why he has them dry but your bun may like them fresh also apple sticks are somthing casper enjoys when he has a bad tum too

thanks,
im just very worried shes not picking up at the moment, shes no longer having any runny droppings, just small ones, she seems quite lethargic aswell a the moment, she literally will not eat any pellets or much hay, just fresh grass, parsley etc...has anyone experianced this before?

Its sounds very much like casper when his tums unstable, he would rather eat grass and apple leaves then anything else, but usally he would pick his pellets rather then anything else. Is she going back for a check up at the vets tomo? xx

im going to phone them and ask for another gut motility injection to be adminsterd by a nurse so i dont have to pay a consultation (they offerd this friday but for her to go back saturday for it)...ive paid them £120 this week and Bailey is still no better than before she went to see them, and shes had an unnessisary dental and anesthetic from them now (bit p***ed off at them to be honest)
im pretty sure the next step is blood tests and xrays, as she is still eating somthing though and passing droppings im hoping shes going to pick up once i manage to get her to eat pellets...

o no
seems you have been having a hard time this week! did they not x ray before dental? when poppy had suspected root tooth abcess she was x rayed and her teeth checked before dental. Its good her poops are forming better now, if the are small i would try somthing like apple or bramble leaves
worth a try, have you also tried putting warm water on the pellets, casper likes this when he is feeling poorly

Mama Doe
poppys moulting lots
do you brush her regually getting all that dead coat out? poppy has a ver thick coat, when she is moulting, i use a rubber grooming mitt and stroke her to get all that dead coat out so she doesnt groom it out and eat hair, is there any signs of hair in her poops?. May be worth asking the vet tomo
BaileyBunn
Warren Scout
no...no signs of hair in poops :? im hoping shes just had a mild bout of stasis and is still recovering...the thing is, we dont know whats caused this...at all, which is making me worried theres an underlying health issue...i think im just goin to have to try everything i can to get her to start eating pellets or a larger amount of hay tomoro and see how she is
beccimarie
Mama Doe
o bless her, the positive news is she is still eating and pooping! I hope the vets are able to find somthing to explain why she is so off pellets and small poops, she hasnt eaten anything different or been under any stress (except the vets ofcourse)
BaileyBunn
Warren Scout
no, no stress as far as i know, the only time anything could of happend was when she was out in the garden last week, she may of picked up a leaf or maybe a cat came along or somthing, but she would of got over that by now...

It could be dental issues as shes only eating soft things here.
It could be the beginnings of a related stasis episode.
If your vet has come to the end of his/her knowledge already, may i suggest you put a post in rabbit chat stating;
Rabbit Savvy Vet Required: <Insert Your Area Here>
Poor Bailey..more vibes.

not at all. Stress can cause all manner of problems and cause all sorts of 'health' issues. If she ate something poisonous, she could be going into ileus/stasis which would slow her gut down, possibly to a stop and she'd need pain relief and a gut stimulant at least.
If a cat came in and scared her, she could be scared of eating incase something comes to get her etc.
There are lots of factors to consider and i urge you to read my previous post :wave:
