Lump on stomach, and not feeling well?

[Cameron Blackmon]

Hi, my rabbit huck has two small lumps almost pararel on his stomach. He also had a accident today, which has happened randomly only a few times. I believe it maybe from too much fruit, it wasn’t diarrhea, just extremely soft and in big clumps.
Should he go to the vet?

If your rabbit has lumps on his stomach they need to be checked by an experienced rabbit vet right away. If your rabbit isn't pooping normal round fecal poop in addition to the soft poop, and all of your rabbits poop is soft and in clumps, this is considered an emergency and you need to get your rabbit to the vet immediately. If your rabbit is producing normal round fecal balls as well as the mushy poop, this is called cecal dysbiosis and is usually caused by an improper diet of too many sugars/carbs and/or too little fiber. If fruit is causing your rabbit to have mushy poop, you need to stop feeding fruit. You also should be free feeding(never runs out) a good quality grass hay like timothy hay. Rabbits have a very sensitive digestive system and are very susceptible to developing dangerous digestive illness. You need to be cautious about the diet you feed them.

If you are ever unsure whether your pet needs to see a vet, then the answer should always be yes.
