Why is my rabbit not eating poop, getting stuck, and drinking a lot?

With the discharge from her nose I would suspect that she has some sort of respiratory issue going on. Rabbits are very prone to pasteurella infection and this can cause weight loss over time and make them generally unwell. With any disease rabbits will be under stress which puts them at risk of gut stasis. Running bloods could help to establish if their is an active infection and if any other organs are involved.

You rabbit might be suffering from gut stasis, a common condition in rabbits of all ages, you will need to take him to the vet ASAP in order to get it treated, if it is only a mild stasis, medical treatment should be successful.

If Willy is drinking and yribating a lot I would be suspicious that there could be an issue in his urinary tract. For example an early kidney issue won't necessarily show up on bloods, or there could be an issue in the bladder itself such as infection, which is quite common. I would suggest trying to get a urine sample for your vet to test. If he is litter trained you can get special needs to help obtain a sample, or you could leave him on a non absorbent surface until he urinates. I wouldn't worry so much about the food as they should eat a fair bit of hay In a day.

Thanks for reaching out about your rabbit. A veterinary visit is recommended anytime a rabbit stops eating. Ingested foreign bodies, GI stasis, metabolic disorders (liver, kidney), infections are all possible. Yogurt and crackers are not a good food item for rabbits as they do not digest dairy or carbohydrates well, and can lead to additional GI upset. Even if obstructed, they can continue to pass feces for 1-2 days. Try syringe offering water. Good luck.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Loss of appetite and lack of drinking can be observed with many conditions such as gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, kidney disease, pancreatitis, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have Walter evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check for these possibilities and others depending on the findings on exam. Treatment would be based on findings. Good luck and have a great day! Hoping for a speedy recovery! 


I am sorry your bunny kunkun is sick. I would recommend taking him to a veterinarian as soon as possible. It’s sounds like he is critically ill and needs medical attention. Rabbits can get gi stasis where there intestines do not work properly and it is possible that has happened. Hope he feels better

If Daisy is not eating properly then it would be normal for her to poop less. She may also not be drinking enough. You can try to offer some fresh lettuce and veggies. If Daisy still refuses to eat or does not eat properly you will need to take her to a veterinarian familiar with rabbit medicine for a check up of her mouth and teeth. Tooth problems (overgrowth or malocclusions) are common in rabbits as are tooth abscesses. The vet will want to to an x-ray of the head and assess the situation. If tooth correction is requires, it will have to be done under general anesthesia, if done properly.
