Oval poops..vets

yvette

Wise Old Thumper
Taking my boy to the vets tomorrow. He's been a bit quiet and now passing oval poops. Eating well but not moving much unless it's for food and treats.
I found a small blob of something like phlegm.
I'm looking for some reassurance he's gonna be ok....
 
I hope he gets on well at the vets. Its great he is still food motivated. Hopefully the phlegm is a wee bit of infection remedied with anti biotics. Let us know how you get on

at worst a wee bit of infection I meant. Sorry my above post read wrong
 
No misunderstanding...i got what you meant. Xx
He's so quiet...lying on his vet bed bless him but if I get the dried cranberries I get mugged. He's my baby. I've got 6 left now. Lost 2 ...one aged 5 pneumonia and one aged 8 and a half years to a stroke.

Was the phlegm in his poops? Jelly like?

Mucous type stuff in poops is usually an indication of inflammation in the gut. often associated with stasis and that sort of thing.
 
My girl passed a mucous pellet, and was similar to your lad (this was a freak out for me!), except wouldn't even come for treats :( she spent a few days in exotic bunny hospital on fluids and medication, but came out fine the other side, I hope the same for your boy

Hello stranger, whilst it's lovely to 'see' you again I am sorry it's because BB has a problem. The symptoms you describe seem to point toward a gut motility problem. I hope the Vet can help, sending lots of vibes xx
