  About 5 minutes ago I went in to feed my rabbits, and I noticed that Smokey didn’t come running out like she always does. I checked on her, and saw that she has some extremely mushy poops coming out, and she was hunched in a corner. I don’t know if her tummy is bloated, or if she’s having some gas, but this isn’t like her. She even peed on the bed, which she would never do. If there’s anything anyone can give me, I would so greatly appreciate it!

  It does sound like something has caused an upset. The peeing on the bed could potentially be a pain response. Is she eating anything at all? I’m sure it’s probably late there, but are you able to try some simethicone and belly massages? If she doesn’t snap out of it after a few doses of simethicone, then you will need to do more “intensive” supportive care to get her through until you can get to a vet.

  Thank you for your response!
  
  Actually, Smokey is doing a lot better now. I did give her a dose of Smithicone, and some tummy rubs which got a lot of gas out. And she’s eating!! 😀 😀 Yay!!
  
  I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on her though, to make sure she’s okay. 🙂
  
  Thank you again!!

  I’m glad she’s better, poor thing. When Oscar has tummy troubles he doesn’t bother using the litterbox either.

  Yeah, I’m hoping she stays well!
  
  I’m wondering what caused it, though. When I was looking up some possibilities, the most common one I found was indigestion….But I can’t really think of anything that might have caused that. I mean, they’ve been chewing on the carpet a bit, but I didn’t think that would do anything. 😕
