Was it definitely red or just the consistancy of cranberry sauce?

Hrmmmm…I’ve never heard of anything like that…Like it sort of sounds like cecals but they wouldn’t be that color….

Anyone else wager a guess???

If you still have your shirt with some of it left on it, I would bring the shirt with you to the vet. I have never heard of red poo. So my only solution is to show your vet. Mine have never done that even when scared. Anyone else?

I am drawing a blank of this one.  I would ask your vet about it and see if they have any possibilities.

Cleaning the anal glands is pretty smelly, so I imagine if it was the waxy substance from there, you would know it!!! Are you absolutely sure the bun passed this red stuff? Could she/he have had something on their foot or fur you weren’t aware of? Definately get it looked at if you still have it on the t-shirt. I’m totally guessing here, but I think if there was blood in the faeces, it would be a brown/black colour, but blood in urine would be more a brighter red. Again, I’m guessing and don’t want to alarm you! I would take it in sooner thatn 5 weeks myself. What did you have done at the vets last week, just a first check over? If you do take them in again sooner, maybe you can have some vaccinations or something aswell, since it’d be an extra visit. Hope you get some clarity on this!

that’s very strange. gross i know, but did you catch any smell when it passed? did it smell like feces… or?

were you able to call your vet and ask what they thought?

aw that’s great that you’re enjoying them! they are so much fun, i agree. when i say “treat” mine start jumping over each other, it looks like a shark feeding frenzy on the discovery channel! lmao!

i think you’re right that you might never really know what caused that weird incident. keep an eye on them both as you’ve been doing.

as far as neutering, males can be done at about 3-4 months when their testicles descend. neutering will remove the hormones and should lead to a calmer bunny. that being said, most adult buns do not enjoy being picked up and handled a lot. they are prey animals so it is just not in their nature. it usually works best when you interact with them on their terms, on the floor or if they come up to you.

OH Phew! Glad your dwarfie is ok!

I’m glad they are doing well! I’m a bit concerned about the vet not knowing the sex of your bunny-if your vet was examingin Butterscotch in person and couldn’t tell, He may very well be a good vet, but I would start phoning around to see if there are other vets in the area that are a bit more rabbit-savvy.

I AGREE! they are not wee little baby bunnies so the vet should be able to tell without a doubt at this point what sex they are. i’m not too sure about you continuing to keep them together until you get a definitive answer on sex! can get ahold of another vet for a second opinion?

I have to laugh, my first 2 buns were 7-8 months and several vets were still at odds over whether they were girls or boys. Pringles wasn’t settled until she went in for a neuter and ended up with a spay. Daisy was so shy, it wasn’t finalized that she was a he until the 3rd vet.

I’m so glad I’m not the only person that has happened to! We took Warri to the vet to get sexed, the vet said he was a she. So he goes in for a spay, goes through the surgery and OOPS no girl parts in there. His testicles hadn’t dropped yet, so he had to go back about a month later for a neuter.

My bun was sexed by a rabbit savvy vet and the breeder he came from and both said it was a male but still not one hundred percent sure because no testicles had descended and he was 5 months. well it ended up he had developed his testicles but they were not going to drop and he was known as a cryptorchid (i think thats how its spelled) where his testicles will not descend. so the vet had to “go in after them” lol! so maybe that could be whats happening too.
