Question
what is wrong with rabbits when they have wet tails and what can you give them

Answer
Dear Sherry,

If the problem is wet with messy, mushy poop, please read this right away:

You can keep bunny clean with the instructions here:

If the wetness is caused by urine, then please read this for the various causes:

You should not try to treat this yourself with anything "over the counter," as these things can be very dangerous for rabbits.  Instead, find a good rabbit vet here:

and take him there for proper diagnosis and treatment.

I hope this helps.
