        Hey everyone. My cousin has a 3 month old holland lop and he acts pretty normal when he eats and drinks. We used to feed her milk 

        through a syringe weeks ago because his back was really boney, but he seems fairly plump now for a baby bunny. He just started 

        eating 3rd and 2nd cut timothy hay really well after we got him off unlimited pellets about 2 weeks ago.

        About a few days ago, he’s been letting off some really rancid odors. It was coming from his poop. I noticed that they looked really 

        moist lately and more greenish along with some being oblong. I’m not sure if that’s when it started but, he’s been leaving big groups of 

        cecotropes in his litter box before the moist poop started appearing. Sadly now, the odor is stronger and I noticed this morning that 

        there are wet round and oblong poops and small spots of liquid poop in the litter box. He isn’t moving a lot right now, only when I pick 

        him up to place him on the other side of the cage to look into his litter box will he move and jump back into the litter box.


        Does this call for a vet visit? Will it be okay to wait it out? What should I do?

        I just picked him up and he has a lot of wet poop stuck to his butt.

          Yes, it absolutely calls for a vet visit. Especially with a young rabbit.

          {{{Vibes}}} for the bunny!

            Agree, a young bunny with diarrhea needs a vet. It could be a case of bacterial enteritis or coccidiosis. You need antibiotics in either case and fluids (sub Q) and probably a painkiller.
            Sending the little bun many healing-vibes!

              A vet visit is definitely in order! Has he been seen by one yet? Do you have a rabbit vet in mind?
