My rabbit has jelly-like stool with poor appetite and lethargy, and I have no rabbit medicine at home—what should I do?
If your rabbit has diarrhea, check its diet first and ensure plenty of hay and fresh water with some vegetables. For mild cases, fast 12–24 hours with warm water or electrolytes, add gut probiotics, and keep it warm and comfortable. If it lasts or is severe, take it to a vet.
I am a boarding student and left my hamster with my parents. When I got home today I found my hamster suddenly like this—at first I thought its eyes were gone, but the eyes can still open a little and a cotton swab can’t wipe it off; runny diarrhea is stuck to its rear and its weight dropped a lot, visibly very thin and severe. How should I handle this?
Based on your description—eyes that will not open, increased discharge, diarrhea, and severe weight loss—your hamster may have a digestive disease, most seriously wet tail. This is often caused by poor care and an unclean environment that lets bacteria infect an immunocompromised hamster, and the disease can be fatal, so seek veterinary care promptly.
