  Hi everyone,
  
  I’ve recently noticed a few poopy patches on my carpet in the rabbit room. My dwarf, Joey, has never had runny, sticky, or any other poop related problems. The rabbit room is carpeted, and the poop seems to have “soaked” in, with the more formed bits still intact on the top. I’m wondering if this is diarrhea or something else (unformed cecals maybe)? He’s acting normal, running around, sleeping, drinking and eating. His regular poops seem to have changed too. Most are normal sized, while some are very small (around half the size of his regulars). Any ideas?
  
  Some info about Jo, could be relevent/helpful:
  
  -He’s a netherlands dwarf
  
  -around 8-9 months old
  
  -2 pounds
  
  -eating timothy hay (min crude fiber:1%, max crude fiber 32%)
  
  -1/8 cups of pellets a day (have crude fibre 8%, crude protein 16%)
  
  -about 1-2 medium sized romaine lettuce leaves, some green pepper, other rabbit-safe vegetables

  Would you happen to have any pics of the “accident”? Sometimes, bladder sludge will look very similar to diarrhea.

  Picture of bladder sludge. Prepare for ick.

  Were any new veggies offered recently?

  I’ll try to get some pictures up tomorrow, but the “stained” spot has faded a bit, even though it was recent. It’s much darker than the bladder sludge in the pic, and it’s a smaller spot (about the size of a Canadian Toonie). He had his first carrot in a while the night before, maybe that’s why? He has had carrots before, but not for about a month or two until yesterday. The piece I gave him was quite small, approx. the size of the bottom of an espresso cup or so.

  Sounds like a bad reaction to a food. Best bet is keep your bun off veggies and only hay and pellets until improvement is shown.
  If it is real Diarrhea and not just smeared sludge then you’ll need a vet!

  Are there normal poops as well as the smeared poop? If there is, it’s not diarrhea, just a bit of sticky poop. I have a rabbit that can’t have carrots or he gets smeary poop.
