Question
well my rabbit benji has been having wet poo and has been sneezing a lot also his hair has been falling out.im not sure if i should be worried or not i was considering taking him to the vets is this normal ?

Answer
Dear Jasmine,

Nothing you've described is really normal, so YES, I would suggest you get her to a good, rabbit-savvy vet.  For the wet poop, please read:

For the fur loss, please read:

and for the sneezing, please read:

The above will help you know what questions to ask the vet, and what to expect.  I hope your bunny will be fine soon.
