Diarrhea

In adult rabbits, diarrhea is quite uncommon. It is important to check your rabbit daily for diarrhea as it could be due to a rapidly-progressing disease that requires early treatment or could lead to other problems such as flystrike.

Several conditions can cause diarrhea, with infections more common in young rabbits (kits/kittens)
