Expert Answer

If your rabbit has diarrhea, here are some suggestions. 1. Check the diet: make sure the diet is normal; unsuitable or unbalanced food can cause diarrhea. Ensure plenty of hay and fresh water, and offer some vegetables and herbs. 2. Fasting and fluids: if the diarrhea is mild, fast for 12–24 hours to rest the gut, and give warm water or electrolyte solution to avoid dehydration.

3. Gut probiotics: give some rabbit gut probiotics to restore the bacterial balance; buy a rabbit-specific product and use as directed. 4. Warm, comfortable environment: keep it warm, dry, and comfortable, and add a clean blanket or pad for extra warmth. 5. See a vet: if diarrhea lasts, is severe, or comes with other abnormal signs, take the rabbit to a vet for diagnosis and treatment.
