I think that most of us have these from time to time, and as long as we pass them through then there's nothing to worry about. As long as you are groomed regularly and you don't get felt pads on your feet that can be chewed off and swallowed then Sooty should be fine

Ms. No Nonsense has a record sized poo in a jar and shows it to new bun owners. She wanted to preserve it somehow - putting shellac on it or something...

Mine's dried out and shrunk a little now. I knew I couldn't trust mum to look after it.

I remember this Maddie. Thanks for your email

Our 2 foots are taking Sooty to see Uncle Darren tonight. There is definately something not quite right. She not quite her usual self, like Uncle Shaun says Sooty is usually the life and sole of the party but she isn't, she usually rushes to her fresh on hay when our litter trays are changed in a morning and usually nosey's at what Snowy is getting cos he gets his litter tray first before our two come, but she didn't. She ate some dandylions and a bit of hay but doesn't seem to drink and she can drink like our cactus plant, she keeps sticking her tongue out, Mum's syringed some water down to help. Mum thinks she can detect a slight head tilt again.
So even if she comes round whilst Mum and Dad are at werk and nothing is wrong Mum would rather look silly at the vets and get reassurance i think.

Love Jetty xxxx

We all agree this is the right thing to do - our health problems can develop very quickly.

Mum says the first thing she'd check is hydration levels then gently palpate her abdomen if you can, feel intestinal contents and look for any tender spots. Sticking her tongue out sounds odd - is her mouth OK? Unless she's a Frenchy, we're guessing your mum probably won't be able to slip a finger inside to feel around.

Your mum won't look silly at the vets - and any bunny-savvy vet will know that a bun who's not eating needs to be checked sooner rather than later.

We'll all keep our paws crossed in the hope she's OK and perhaps even perks up during the day.
