What can you do if your bunny has loose poo?

Answer 1

If your infant bunny has diarrhea, you should bring her to a vet immediately. If your usual "rabbit-savvy" vet is unavailable, any vet is better than none. This is an emergency!

If your bunny is not an infant, and loose poo is the only symptom of ill-health, the situation is serious but not necessarily an emergency (yet). Your rabbit is probably in cecal dysbiosis. (Rabbits don't usually suffer from loose poo; what looks like loose poo is probably unformed cecotropes.) Cecal dysbiosis is often the result of a diet too low in fibre. Fix your rabbit's diet (cut down on pellets and greens, completely eliminate all other fruits/veg for now, and really encourage hay), and hopefully her droppings will return to normal. However, if the loose poo doesn't go away after one or two days, or if you notice any other signs of ill-health in your bunny, your rabbit should see her usual "rabbit-savvy" vet immediately. Bring fresh samples of your rabbit's poo to the appointment so your vet can examine it.
