Help my rabbit has yellow watery diarrhea

[Eddie D.]

So I have two rabbits and one of them has yellow watery diarrhea. She has had it for about a week and hasn’t seemed sad or down but I don’t like it so please help.

What have you been feeding your rabbit? How many times a day does your rabbit have diarrhea?

If it is indeed diarrhea, I recommend you take your rabbit to a rabbit-experienced vet. It is concerning that is has been going on for a week. While it's positive that your rabbit doesn't seem sad or down, rabbits can be good at hiding discomfort and there may be an issue that you cannot readily see.

How long have you had this rabbit, and what diet are you providing her?

 

[Eddie D.]

I mostly feed them pellets and hay and they are outside in an enclosure all day. I have had them for about a year and have never had a problem like this.

Go to a vet. Either she's been eating something she shouldn't, or you aren't feeding her correctly, or she has a possibly serious health issue.

Do you have a picture of the enclosure you have the buns in? If they're outside all day in the heat (I mean, you live in Texas) then that could be rlly bad for them

 

[Eddie D.]

They are outside all day but they have a lot of shade and access to water.

Here is their enclosure and I give them hay in there.

Ok! thanks. It looks like they have enough space, and if they have shade and water, that's great!

Yellow watery diarrhea is from the e. coli(colibacillosis) bacteria. You need to get your rabbit to be checked by an experienced rabbit vet right away, so your rabbit can be given fluids and the correct antibiotic(baytril, etc). I would bring a refrigerated sample of the poop and also mention that you were told it might be e. coli because of the yellow poop.
