bad smell

Question

Answer
Dear Amy,

The most common cause of the condition your bunny is suffering, cecal dysbiosis, is poor diet too rich in starch.  Please read this article for complete information on the causes, diagnosis and treatment of this problem:

It's also possible that an undiagnosed health problem, such as dental pain due to molar spurs, is eliciting this.  Please read:
