QuestionI got my rabbits 2 days ago. Whne we got them from the breeder they were fine. Then yesterday on of the rabbits had diarrhea around the bottom area it was brown-yellow. We gave it some dry food and left in overnight the next day it seemed better and so we put all three rabbits in the run (it was quite a vet day). When we got back the diarrhea rabbit was worse- not really moving eyes slightly closed and one of the other rabbits also had diarreha now one rabbit is still now moving around (the first rabbit) but the other one seems slightly better. We also have another rabbit that was with the rabbits for the longest time who is fine. What should we do?
AnswerHow old are these rabbits? It sounds as if they are fairly young and may have been weaned too early.
There is information here about treatments - http://homepage.mac.com/mattocks/morfz/rabrefs.html#entero
If they are young, make sure they only have pellets and hay, no vegetables or fruit. And make sure they have lots of fresh water.
I hope that they live, but be prepared for the possibility that one or more of them may not make it.
