it was watery. now she is leaving fully formed single but soft/dark poos in the litter box.

Well I decided I didn’t want to take a chance so I went to the vet.
they said her over all health looked good and her gut sounds normal.
they took a stool sample and will call me with the results and sent me home with Metronidazole to give her orally 2 times a day for 7 days.

I hope the stool sample comes back okay and that she starts pooping normal again soon.

Thank you everybody for the well wishes

I was really worried there for a bit, but she seems to be doing better….

Sages activity level is still down, she is eating her hay and drinking water just not as much as she usually does…but the vet said that her seeking out her own food and water is a good thing and he said as far as not eating as much as she usually does he said as long as she is still producing poos her system is moving along. he said that as she starts to feel better her appetite should return to normal. Her poos are getting closer to looking normal too. still softer then they should be, but they are fully formed and not attached to each other.

I will keep you all updated…thank you so much for your care and support!!!!

So today Sage seems to be back to normal all the way around!!! Energy level up, running, binkying, flopping, demanding attention at the baby gate
Poo looks like it should, appetite seems great!

I am so relieved

(I probably overreacted and you more educated bunny people thought me a bit crazy, but with some of the sad stories I have read and not having any experience with bunnies I was a bit afraid that I was missing something….an losing my little girl already)

thank you for putting up with my worried mommy posts.

@narkut: no we have no clue, the vet found nothing in the stool via preliminary tests, it has been sent out for further testing and I should hear back today. He asked about changes in home environment, said that it could have been stress?

@bab: thank you for the article. The vet told me the same thing, we went through a check list but Sage didn’t have poopy butt or soft cecotropes there was brown gooey water all over and not a solid poo in sight….definitely diarrhea

I appreciate all the posts, suggestions, information and support! You guys are GREAT!!!

OK guys….now I am worried.

Vets office called back and said the secondary stool tests came back and Sage has coccidia 

I am going to pick up another medication today and they said she will be on that for 10 days then they will do another stool sample test.

I was online last night reading everything I could find on it and see that in young rabbits it can be deadly 

The thing that I am confused about is the vet sent me home on Friday with an antibiotic and after a day or so she returned to normal behavior (eating, playing and pooing) but apparently that particular medicine doesn’t do anything for coccidia??  So how come it seems like she got better?  I read in some posts and articles that Buns have seemed okay one day and were gone the next so I am have mild heart palpitations here….my vet said don’t get upset…that as long as her appetite and poo/pee is good and she isn’t lethargic there is no reason to believe that she won’t come through the treatment fine….

So I am reaching out to you guys…my new found friends and support system when it comes to my bunny baby…does this sound right?

Thanks again for your help!
