Help!

my rabbit isnt pooping very much and when she does it wet what do i do ?

Does he eat still. If he does trygetting the GI starting things eaten like papya, fresh pineapple,canned pumpkin. Make sure he is drinking plenty of water andis getting excercise. You could give his tummy a massage toget things going also. If he isn't eating, then nutrical canbe used to stimulate the appetite. Though I think if he isn'teating, you are going to syringe feed him some of thepumpkin. If he isn't pooping, then you need to get it startedagain as soon as you can. If the poop isn't coming for near aday, vet time.

*edit* I just reread your post, you aren't talking about dirrehea are you?

well its happened before but she got thru it ina day but the poops are small and wet ?? she is eating a little hay butno pellets but she seems active

 

[Mr. Stee]

Keep a close eye on her. As long asshe keeps eating and pooping, even if reduced, then she is doing aroughly ok. As soon as she stops doing either one for aspell, then is when you go to evasive maneuvers.

Giving her some rolled oats to try and dry thempoops back up wouldn't hurt. Getting some canned pumpkinand/or pineapple into her isn't gonna hurt either, I would suggest itas a precaution....neither of those are going to do any harm.

Also, giving one or both of those weekly is a good idea just to keep things moving slowly.

Getting and giving papaya tabs is a good idea too, there's mixed infoout there on this doing much, but it sure can't hurt. I givemine those daily. According to the book Rabbit Health in the21st Century, written by Kathy Smith, it states papaya is an appetitestimulane and aids digestion.

Please keep us posted on how she's doin.
