New Kit
Hi everyone,
I'm new so I hope this post is ok!
I have 2 bunnies, Wilbur and Bambi. Wilbur is a 7 year old mini loo and has recently been suffering with a bad tummy. On Saturday we came home to a puddle of diarrhea on the carpet in their room. However he's been eating and drinking like normal and is very much acting like himself. It's also worth noting that I haven't fed him anything different, just his meadow hay, veg and small amount of pellets. But since the bad poop episode I've just been giving him hay (and water obviously).
The day after, there was no diarrhea and then Monday and Wednesday there was a tiny amount of runny poop. So Wednesday evening I took him to the vet who has ordered me some fibreplex which I'm picking up today.
She said if that doesn't help, then to bring him back in with a stool sample which they'll send off to be tested. Our other rabbit Bambi is fine and her poop is normal, so it mustn't be a contagious infection.
Since yesterday evening he's been doing normal hard poops (some have been very small) and a few soft poops, but not diarrhea. Am I right in thinking that it could be unformed cecotropes as he's also doing hard poops? It's very confusing, but I'm hoping the fibreplex might help harden things up.
Thanks in advance.
