My baby rabbit has diarrhea after a new supplement. What should I do?

For now, stop feeding anything but hay or timothy hay pellets. Provide water or unflavored PediaLyte to prevent dehydration. Keep his bottom clean and dry. Keep his cage clean and decrease or eliminate any negative stimuli. Severe diarrhea can be deadly in rabbits, so it is important to have Gabi examined by your veterinarian as soon as possible. A rabbit's diet should be at least 80% timothy hay or similar grasses. They require a high fiber diet to maintain gut health. Limit vegetables ( 2 cups per 6lbs daily) and pellets ( 1/8 cup per 6lbs daily) to prevent obesity. Fruit should be given only occasionally if at all.

Poor Thumper! Diarrhea in rabbits is cause for concern as it can be caused by bacterial disturbances which can be life-threatening. The stress of a new environment, diet change, and possibly not eating/drinking for a while may have caused this. I recommend keeping a very close eye on Thumper and having him seen by a vet immediately if he has diarrhea again, loses his appetite, or is lethargic. He may need antibiotics and supportive care to get better.

Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Make sure Penelope's diet is proper. stop all leafy greens & fresh vegetables. She should have no more than 1/4 cup of fresh rabbit pellets, & a body size pile of timothy hay. Tomorrow, take a sample of her stool for analysis to your vet. They will see if she has any intestinal parasites including coccidia. Based on this, your vet may recommend putting her on a diet of Critical care to increase fiber, or if she needs antibiotics. I hope she is well soon. Take care.

You should never withhold food from rabbits, they must constantly graze to maintain gut health and movement. Ensure the pellets are a high fibre formula and fresh (within date and not damp/musty) and i recommend you use a rabbit probiotic also. Contact your vet immediately if any change in appetite, weakness or reduced thirst is noted

Yes, very dangerous. first of all do not shake your rabbit, this is not something you should do it can harm her. secondly diarrhea in rabbits can be fatal, as a matter of fact it usually is if left untreated. you need to take her to the vet as soon as you can in order to get treatment, she will need a course of antibiotics as well as fiber supplements in order to get better.

Anything is possible especially if this is a new diet that has been introduced. Diarrhea in rabbits can be very serious so I suggest you have Roshini to the vet for an exam. If you can, I recommend you use a diet like Oxbow. Remember, a rabbit's diet should be mostly hay and not pellets. Please make sure you are feeding her properly by referring to the link below: ( https://www.oxbowanimalhealth.com/uploads/files/Rabbit-Care-Guide.pdf )

Hello. Great question! If you have Marshmallow on a high quality diet you should not need to feed any supplements/vitamins. The majority of the diet should be hay. I recommend Oxbow products: ( https://www.kohepets.com.sg/oxbow-hay-blends-western-timothy-orchard-grass ) ( https://www.kohepets.com.sg/oxbow-bunny-basics-young-rabbit-food ) Oxbow has a lot of good products - treats and other types of hay, etc. Anything you use from them will be good. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
