rabbit with diarhoa

[moljam]

shes not eaten anything different.i cleaned her out this morning ,she had hop round,put her back in hutch(indoors)gave her her normal food and a carrot and now shes squirted everywhere!should i phone vet?im just bit nervous as few months ago our 3 gineau pigs all died in a week.

I'd call the vet if she's the same tomorrow.

It's often too much fresh veg and fruit that make a rabbit squitty. Make sure she's got access to LOTS of hay.

Yes, you should take her to the vets if she keeps on being squitty - they'll probably give you rehydration powders. You can have lots of fun trying to syringe that down her throat.

Hope she gets better soon.

thanks.shes doesnt seem to like hay for some reason.i dont think shes had too much fruit and veg-we had rabbits before and gave them loads then realised why they had diarhoa!

i'll se what shes like tomorrow.shes still eating lots and drinking.diarhoa sems to have calmed a bit.we'll see.

but thanks for advice

call the vet tomorrow if this continues. Digestion problems can be very serious in a rabbit because the balance of bacteria in their tummies is really important. They can suffer from a condition called ilius (spelling) and it is life threatening. Thankfully it is easily preventable with administration of a probiotic. This is equally as important as if they stop eating, as the bugs dont get what they need and it all goes up the spout.

Saying that, brocolli is right, it could just be that she has eaten more food than normal or soemthing has upset her. It might be as well to get her teeth checked too as they often, for some reason, get the runs when their teeth are over grown.

its possibly too many greens that can caused diarrohea or maybe a underlying problem. Do mention to the vet about your rabbit not liking hay and see what they say

thankyou
