My rabbit uses get a runny poo a lot and had to go vets monthly but he’s been fine for 6 months but today his poo has been runny. My vets closed Sundays. Could it be the probiotic powdered I started sprinkling on his food? He’s a old rabbit and can only eat pellets softened in water. Also wondered how to clean his bottom with stressing him.
 
If he's got runny poop, it could be a sign of gastrointestinal problems and I would check his diet. The basics are greens, unlimited hay, optional pellets, lots of water, fruit for treats occansionally (You probably already know that and I doubt that's the problem) Yeah, it could be the probiotic powder for sure, some side effects of it are pooping, I think that would be what's causing it and not GI problems, I'm sure you know about rabbits. Call your vet and ask him/her, that's what I would do. To clean your bunny's bottom, not entirely sure, just take a wet cloth and gently clean him up? You could pet him and just give him a few treats to reduce stress. I hope your rabbit gets better, such a cute bun.

Site to look at if you want, you can google the side effects of probiotics too, but just ask your vet :)

I'm not an expert, and I'm sure others will have great answers as well. Good luck!

Take care and best wishes

Thank you for your great reply. I have stopped his probiotics and reduced his food for 24 hours help. He only can eat soft pellets refuses any greens. He’s 10 so has no teeth. Thanks again
 
It is probably the probiotics that are making his poops runny. Like Remy the Rabbit said, I would call your vet. To clean his bottom I would use a damp warm washcloth.
