        Please can anyone give some advice, our 4yr old boy bunny was off his food a little Sunday so we picked him up on sofa to give him some fibreplex and a tummy rub. When l rubbed his tummy he passed a red watery discharge, but hadn’t been eating carrots.  We were a little concerned but thought it pee, so I continued rubbing and he passed bright red blood and mucas. We rang the emergency vets and he gave us over the phone advice of pre-biotic and not greens or fruit. We took him in first thing this morning to the vets but sadly got the famale vet (useless) and she said it was a urine infection.  Both my husband and l think it was from his bottom not his urinary track. Worried the antibiotics she precribed will upset his tummy further. Any advise gratefully received.

          Rabbits can get red urine even if they havent eaten carrots. They can produce that red colorant spontaneously.

          Did he get any sub q fluids at the vet? Dehydration is a big risk if a bun gets diarrhea. What antibiotics did he get? Some GI ailments that causes bloody/mucosy very loose poop you treat with antibiotics, most often Bactrim. It’s not one of the really heavy duty antibiotics that risk messing up the GI bacteria really badly.

          Is he eating now? Do you see any normal round poop at all? (They don’t have to be perfectly round).

            How did your bunny get on? I’m having this exact same situation right now so any help would be greatly appreciated

            Thanks

              Bunny Mummy- This post is from 2017. The original poster never responded. I highly suggest you bring your bunny to the vet.

                I know they didn’t respond. I was hoping they would get an email notification or something and reply as my boy was admitted to the vets yesterday morning and still hasn’t pooped so I’m worried and wanted to know the prognosis of their rabbit

                  Thank you for expressing your concern for this rabbit. It’s nice to hear positive prognoses of rabbits when we ourselves are worrying about our own.

                  It’s recommended that you create your own topic to express your concerns, worries, and questions if you have them to express. This way, active BB users are more likely to respond and engage in the topic (even if it’s a topic that has been created before; we are fine with repeats!).
