Can dropping a bunny from a small height give it diarrhea?
Being dropped is stressful for a rabbit and stress, no matter what the cause, can lead to diarrhea or other health problems in rabbits. No matter what the cause, diarrhea is a serious problem in rabbits (and it's an emergency in baby rabbits!!). If your pet rabbit has diarrhea, visit a special "rabbit-savvy" vet as soon as possible. Please see the related questions below for more details.
What do you do if your rabbit has diarrhea and is attracting flies?
First of all, if your rabbit has diarrhea, you should immediately find out why and treat it. Make sure the rabbit is eating his pelleted food and some good timothy hay. Fresh water is an absolute MUST every day, especially during diarrhea because the rabbit could become dehydrated. Also with diarrhea, give slightly burnt toast and some bananas to your rabbit. Second, and very important, If you see your rabbit's butt area is dirty, CLEAN IT with warm soapy water, then wipe it dry with a soft towel. Fly strike, which is what you are describing here, can kill your rabbit within 12 - 24 hours! This can also spread to other rabbits in the close vicinity. When you see flies flying around, you can be sure they are laying eggs, which turn into maggots. Maggots travel quickly and are drawn to the moist, dirty hind end area of your rabbit. They get in there and can literally eat your rabbit's tissues. You must keep your rabbit's cage clean, especially in warm weather. Clean it every day while diarrhea persists, then every other day as the rabbit recovers. Clean the water dish also, and always provide fresh water and fresh food! Remember that your rabbit is in a cage. He is helpless and depends on you for food, water, hay, love, and a safe and clean home to live in. He cannot ask you for something to eat or for more water, and cannot tell you his cage needs cleaned. He cannot tell you that some flies have left maggots on his butt and they are eating him alive and it hurts and he is about to die. So PLEASE watch out for this! If the diarrhea persists more than a few days, DO take your rabbit to a small animal vet. Rabbits can go downhill very quickly. Diarrhea means the entire intestinal tract is inflamed or infected, which can lead to more severe problems. So do the bunny right and take him/her to the doctor. Make absolutely sure that you wash your hands immediately after cleaning up the rabbit's diarrhea. Avoid cuddling with the rabbit till he/she feels better.

Can diarrhea kill a rabbit?
Commonly when rabbits appear to have diarrhoea, it is actually uneaten caecotrophs. Caecotrophs are special faeces which is from the caecum of the rabbit, usually the rabbit will eat the caecotrophs straight from it's anus to digest the material a second time and get any remaining nutrients from it. Rabbits can stop eating their caecotrophs for a number of reasons; the most common one being diet problems. Ensure the rabbit has plenty of fibre in the form of hay and also you could opt for a grass pellet type food as these have higher levels of fibre and better for the rabbits teeth also. If problem continues then take the rabbit to the vet incase something more serious is causing the problem.

Do apples give rabbits diarrhea?
Apples can give rabbits diarrhea, especially juvenile rabbits (younger than 8 or 9 months) and adult rabbits who have eaten a whole lot of apple. If your juvenile rabbit has diarrhea, this is an emergency requiring immediate veterinary attention. Hesitation will only cost your rabbit precious minutes! An adult rabbit with diarrhea or mushy stool should also see a vet as soon as possible (that very day; or the next day, if it's currently after office hours), and the rabbit should be cared for at home (first aid) until that time. If your rabbit is healthy, and eating a balanced diet, a bite or two of apple every few days or so shouldn't be a problem. Rabbits like apple and it makes a great treat! Remove all seeds before giving any apple to your rabbit. Apple seeds are toxic.
