You know my rabbit Bogie has runny poo’s alot too. Neither vet I’ve taken him too have been able to diagnose anything and always suggest Benebac. This has been going on for 2 years. I have no idea what has been causing it – I do wonder if it’s perhaps related to arthritis though. Bogie is about 10 and while he hasn’t been diagnosed with it, I imagine he has a bit of it since arthritis seems to be very common in aging rabbits.

Yeah, the poo’s from Bogie are very runny and stinky too. Bogie does not get pellets at all either. I don’t think Critical Care is going to really do much to tell you the truth. I don’t see how it can either, but who really knows in rabbits. I’ll be interested if your vet comes back with anything. It concerns me in Bogie but doesn’t overly concern me considering he’s had this problem for 2 years and is fine otherwise. Bogie also does not have any dental problems or didn’t when I took him in the last time and many times that can cause runny poo as well. Just rereading Dana Krempel’s article too on runny poop and she does mention Arthritis as being a possible culprit.

The runny poo may be a combination of the cecals and urine – that’s been my thoughts with Bogie – I cannot prove this of course since I obviously cannot take super runny poo in for testing.

When Mango had the gummy runny poo, the vet could not find anything in his poop at all and we sent it out for testing too and nothing. So I can only surmise that his problem was due to his arthritis as well.

I guess to my feeling now is that how could it be from intestinal parasites…I just cannot imagine where my indoor rabbits where be exposed to parasites.

I saw your post on Facebook just now and came to BB to find if you’d elaborated here.
I’m sorry this is happening to Stormy. I think that, after you give the samples to the vet, a bit of Critical Care won’t hurt if you’re worried that he’s getting enough nutrition, or are trying to make it soft on purpose to clear out any issue that may be causing this.

Interesting about the arthritis. Maybe there are muscles or joints that get inflamed or effected by inflammation nearby that impacts on their digestive tracts moving the food. (An uneducated guess of course.)
Is he drinking his water?

Go to this website and checked the first consumer’s review. I saw this comment earlier this morning and bought it. 

I contact one of the doctor in the oxbow company and she mentioned that it is okay to use both regular and natural science pellets mix or pick one of the two pellet products.

For your situation, try to switch to natural science slowly and hope it will improve their poopy issues.

This is my suggestion, it may or may not work but it is worth a try. Up to you.

He’s probably just slowing down. My seniors are all loafers.

Hopefully the xrays will give more of a clue to what’s going on. Will you be able to see kidneys from the stomach xray?

Outside if his own health factoring in, what about your water source? Does that change a bit? Ours here does depending on the season.

Keep us updated. Sending snuggles to Stormy!
