Why is my rabbit passing yellow watery stool?
Find the cause of yellow diarrhea and treat it. If from cold, warming helps quickly; if from indigestion or spoiled food, adjust diet, fast a day, give rabbit probiotics and glucose water. If from a serious disease, see a vet at once, as some kill within 2 to 3 days.
My rabbit eats, drinks, and defecates, but its belly is balloon-tight; is this gas? Stool varies in size with occasional pointed ends; a few days now, occasional squat and lying.
A tight belly may be gut stagnation causing gas; tap it, and a 'bong bong' sound means gas, from low fiber and slow movement or toxic feed. Best to see a vet for medication. If not, oral metoclopramide and simethicone aid movement and gas; papaya pills and pineapple juice lubricate; feed small frequent high-fiber meals.
My rabbit has not been eating for days and its belly feels bloated.
Not eating with a bloated belly may be gas, food stagnation, or constipation. Stagnation from undigested food fermenting needs confirmation by palpation and X-ray, with more fiber and probiotics to aid movement. Constipation needs probiotics, water, and lactulose. If critical, see a vet for tests.

Clear signs like digging and cage-chewing appear at 10-15 days. The re-mating test at 5-6 days also works: a pregnant doe refuses the male and grunts. Appetite, weight, and belly grow by 1-2 weeks.
