My rabbit has diarrhea but is active. Should I still feed pellets?

Diahrrea is a serious symptom in rabbits, i strongly recommend taking him to the vet ASAP in order to get it checked and treated, he will need several medications to help stopping the diarrhea that is probably caused by a gastrointestinal infection.

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.

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 )

Is your rabbit’s poop back to normal now? It is very important to keep a rabbit’s GI tract moving or they will get very sick very quickly. If he isn’t eating well or if he still had abnormal feces then you should have him evaluated by a veterinarian. Also they can prescribe a good called Oxbow critical Care diet that you can force feed to get things moving again. This has worked well in my experience. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Caoch.

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.

These symptoms are extremely serious, Snow needs to be taken to the vet urgently, loose motion is often fatal in rabbits if not treated on time, he will probably need antibiotics, a special food supplement and medications to promote appetite in order to get better.

You should stop giving him the vitamin supplement right away, i would recommend buying good quality food and hay these are better than any supplements on the market. if your baby rabbit is still suffering from diarrhea you must take him to the vet urgently as diarrhea is often fatal in baby rabbits.
