Why is my 3-month-old bunny's stomach growling and poop wet?

These signs are quite concerning in rabbits and could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed.

Try to offer your rabbit some fresh water and hay and check to make sure she is passing feces. If she refuses food and/or is not defecating then you should take her in to be examined by your vet as soon as possible. She may be in the early stages of gastric stasis which can be a very painful and is a serious disease in rabbits. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

I would not necessarily be worried about the gut sounds. That can be normal. However, when you pair that with the soft stool that can indicate a bacterial imbalance in the GI tract. I would suggest you start giving Jerry some probiotics. Also be sure you have the diet 100% correct. The majority of Jerry's diet should be hay and fruits/veggies. Pellets should only a be a tiny portion of the diet. Rabbits have a digestive tract very similar to a horse which is why they need a lot of roughage in the form of hay. Zupreem is an excellent diet and I would recommend their hay and pellets: https://www.petsworld.in/zupreem-natures-promise-western-timothy-hay-397-gms.html https://www.petsworld.in/zupreem-rabbits-pellet-food-5lbs-2-26-kg.html I would use this probiotic daily for at least one month. https://www.amazon.in/Bene-Bac-Plus-Pet-Gel-gram/dp/B0002ASS0W/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1514497373&sr=1-1&keywords=benebac If no improvement after being sure the diet is correct and using the probiotic then you should take Jerry to a vet for an exam. Hope this helps.

Hello. It sounds like your rabbit may have signs of gastrointestinal stasis, which means the GI tract has slowed down, usually as a result of a rabbit that stops eating. Rabbits will stop eating for a number of reasons - their teeth may be overgrown, their tooth roots may be infected, they could also have any other systemic disease (respiratory, urinary, infection, etc). As you can see, the causes are many and its impossible to say what is the underlying cause for sure without an exam and testing (usually radiographs, blood work, etc). Regardless of the cause, GI stasis is potentially fatal if left untreated. Therefore, I would urge you to get veterinary care ASAP. In the meantime, syringe feed Hobie with a liquid hay diet, ideally Oxbow herbivore critical care if you can get some, or soak the hay pellets in warm water to make a slurry. The best thing to keep the GI tract healthy is fiber and hydration, so hay is the foundation of health. I see in the first picture a pellet mix with maybe some oats, corn, and/or seeds mixed with the pellets. This is not an appropriate diet for rabbits as they are selective feeders and usually pick out the concentrates. These pellet mixes significantly increase the incidence of dental disease and obesity. I recommend a 100% timothy hay pellet, ideally Oxbow brand. Feed 1/4 cup timothy hay pellets, free choice grass hay, and 2 cups fresh greens a day with fresh water available in a bowl and sipper.

If the rabbit is eating and drinking and everything else is normal I would not be worried. It is very normal for them to have gut sounds. Rabbits should be eating hay (like for horses) as the main part of the diet so if you are not doing that, you need to start. That keeps their GI tract healthy and their teeth.

Rabbits have a very sensitive GI system. Some causes for loose/wet stools: * internal parasites (worms) * colitis * dietary indiscretion (ate a food she that was new to her) * stress Those are just a few reasons. My suggestion is to start her on a probiotic and if there is no change or the condition worsens then she will need to see a vet. You must use a probiotic made for rabbits like this one: ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/PETS-Dolfos-Probiotic-Beta-Glucan-Digestion/dp/B07CW64WMF/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=probiotic+rabbit&qid=1554727747&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1 ) Be sure her diet is 100% correct (mostly hay and minimal pellets) and don't introduce any new foods for the next few weeks. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Based on what you are describing him I would be concerned about gastric stasis in your rabbit. This can be a common condition that occurs when a bunny stops eating. The stomach will fill with a lot of gas and the rabbit will be very painful and uncomfortable. If you are able to continue giving the critical care supplement I would recommend doing that. If Pepper stops eating that, continues to seem lethargic, or stops pooping, then you will need to take him into the vet to be examined because other medications will be needed to help restore GI motility.
