It isn't normal at all and is probably a sign of a severe gastrointestinal infection, unless you are mistaking and it's actually coming from the urinary tract, in that case it could be a urinary infection. either way it needs to be treated urgently, you need to take her to the vet ASAP in order to get it treated.

    Hi there. Im sorry to hear that your bunny isnt feeling well. Urinary tract infections and urinary bladder stones are both common in rabbits. Uterine cancer is pissible as well. I would encourage you to have her evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible. An x-ray will likely be recomended to help determine the diagnosis and best treatment plan. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
