My rabbit has runny stools; is this serious for a bunny?

[]

Answer

Yes, runny stools in a rabbit can be very serious and indicate a medical emergency. Unlike dogs or cats, rabbits' digestive systems are extremely sensitive. Diarrhea can quickly lead to dehydration and other life-threatening conditions like gut stasis or dysbiosis. Potential causes include improper diet (too much sugar, not enough fiber), stress, bacterial infections, or parasites. It's crucial to seek veterinary attention immediately for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Keep your rabbit warm and encourage water intake until you can see a vet.
