Little poops

[KCG]

Good morning everybody,
Cookie has been pooping since yesterday, but his poops are small in size and a little deformed in shape. But the poop amount is normal, but I am restless. What do you think could cause this situation and what should I pay attention to, what should I do?

I am attaching a picture

Small poo is indicative of gut motility slow down. Is he eating lots of hay ? Is he drinking his normal amount. One of the main causes of gut slow down is not eating enough hay. Not eating enough hay is often, but not always, due to the onset of Dental problems.

I would monitor his hay intake today and if his poo remains small by tomorrow I would get him checked by a Vet, especially his teeth.

If he is moulting then grooming him would be a good idea. Ingesting fur is not generally a problem, but it can be if gut motility is already reduced.

Encourage him to exercise too, hay, fluids and exercise promote good gut motility.

Yea I agree with Jane, I'd keep a really close eye on him and make sure he's still eating lots, ideally more hay. I hope he keeps on nomming, sending lots of vibes

He actually eats a lot of hay, so i don't understand why. Now I checked, fresh poops are normal, but I'm still worried

If the poops are now normal I would not worry

So what should I do if it is normal one day and irregular the next day?

This situation of Cookie has passed 10 days and it still continues, albeit a little. Currently using metacam, still continues. The size of his poop changes constantly throughout the day, he poops a little normally, then he poops a little small, then he poops normally again.. It always goes like this.. Also his appetite is very good and he eats a lot of hay, he drinks on metacam, I don't understand what's wrong!? :|

I would not keep giving him Metacam unless directed to do so by a Vet. Metacam can be harsh on the Kidneys and can also irritate the lining of the stomach. Although the latter is less of an issue for Rabbits.

If you remain concerned I would get him examined by a Vet

Vet gave the Metacam for the sore hocks on his feet. And if it's because of the pain, she said, it will relax him and his poop will go back to normal. Normally we will go for a check-up after 1 week, but this still worries me. I really can't understand why. :|
