Question
I recently received a new baby rabbit about three days ago. since then I've been reading up on rabbits and have been taking care of her fine. she's been gaining weight. but just recently I've noticed that her poop is watery, and they stick together in clumps. does this mean she has diarrhea? and if so what should i do about it?  

Answer
Dear Jenny,

Runny stool in a baby rabbit can be deadly, and this must be addressed immediately by a good rabbit vet:

Waste no time in getting the baby to the vet for supportive fluids and other care.  His life may be at stake.
