Solution for rabbit diarrhea?

Give your rabbit lots of roughage, clean oat straw or weed free timothy hay. Check your pellets for contamination, maybe throw them out and get a new bag. You can give your bunny kaopectate or pepto bismo, a few drops at a time. Make sure it is common diarrhea and not mucoid enteritis. Mucoid enteritis can be detected by gently shaking your bunny. If it sounds like it is full of water mucoid enteritis is present. See a vet immediately. Mucoid enteritis is usually found in young bunnies.
