my rabbit has poo problems...

Question
I have a black & white French lop-eared rabbit. I had another one but he was a brindle and died from his digestive system being blocked. I got both of them from the same breeder but I'm not sure if they are brothers...They were the same age. Loki (the black & white bunny) is now about 2 1/2 years old and has really stinky diarrhea. The color of his poo is still normal though. What should I do?

Answer
Dear Ally,

Your bunny probably has cecal dysbiosis, which is explained here:

The most common causes are incorrect diet:

and pain from dental problems, *especially* in lops:

You can find a good vet to help you here:

Hope that helps.
