  My rabbit recently stopped pooping so we tried to give him olive oil to help him, but now it’s on his fur. Is there any way to get it off of him without having to bathe him?

  You can alternate using a damp and dry cloth/towel to try and get some of it off. Is your rabbit still not pooping? Not many people (at least on these forums) actually talk about using olive oil as a way to help rabbits poop.

  Firstly, please don’t give olive oil to a bunny that’s not pooping. Have you been able to see a vet? If anything, give fluids.
  
  To get the oil off you can use cornstarch. Add the cornstarch to the oily parts and then comb it out gently.
