What i see is soft, gooey poo, stuck to the rabbits bottom fir, and is very wet, sticky and smelly, and sometimes with mucous. It has happened for 2 days now. Also her poops are smaller then usual, they are tiny. Yesterday during her free time she made a ceceal and when i picked it up to throw it out , it was sticky and she hadent eaten it. Honeypot, recomened a vet. Ill have to register with that vet today or friday and take bun buns for a check up. Im really worried.. i dont get home until 3:30, what can i do at home? shes drinking normally, she ocassionaly munches on her hay and shes mostly eating pellets. One thing that has changed is she had carrots. ON sunday ,monday, and tuesday. I think it the carrots causing this.. i took away the and nothing has changed.. her nose seems to be a little wet as well.. PLEASE tell me what to do at home until i can take her to the vet. Ill be on till 8:15 this morning and then ill be off to school.

EDIT: She eats it too.

 
It could be from the carrots. The poo stuck on her bottom is probably cecals. You can use cornstarch to get it off her fur:

Does she still have mucous? If so, get her to a vet today. If not, just take a fecal (poop) sample in to the vet but call ahead and make sure they don't want to do a full appointment. They might want to see her since it will be her first time and she's so young.
 
Please call the vet when you get home from school today. Would someone be able to take you? She really needs to see a vet if she has mucous/runny poop.
 
No, one can take me to the vet today.. Ill have to go out myself to pets mart and get a carrier, honeypot told me that i need to call the vet, cuz i cant go same day.. so ill get a appointment for tomorrow.
 
you could use a box or something for a carrie rto save money for now. Have you cut out the carrots and other treats? I would be sure shes getting lots of hay and water and some pellets.

Is she pooping any regular poops or are they all runny?
 
Not, yet right now her poop seems to be fine so if the mucous comes again we are definatly taking her and we need to get a pet kneenel to take her .
