Just take him to the Vet. You did right by cleaning him up, but you should really get him checked out.


~Hope he gets better!Will my rabbit die or get ill by what i have done?
As long as you dry him off well he won't catch cold.


He is a young rabbit and his upset stomach could be anything. He can only eat what you have given him.


Does he have bloat and is there any jelly like liquid in his feaces??Is he dehydrated? As he has mess all over his back legs and not just his bottom.I'm thinking of a condtion in young rabbits which i myself have delt with called Mucoid Enteritis.


Other than the M'Enteritis have you given him anything other than his normal diet? If so what?


Watch him eating over the next 24 hours .If he does not eat hand feed liquid and get him to the vets asap.
A bath won't kill him, but you can get poo off the bottom by giving a dry butt bath - see ';mystery of poop'; article link below. I would be concerned why he was messy on the bottom - is he overweight and can't clean himself properly? What is he eating? Make sure you give him lots of good quality hay - my buns only get Oxbow, the stuff at the pet stores (Kaytee, etc) isn't that great. Only give plain pellets - the kind with colored peices, nuts, seeds, etc are really bad for them. And only give 1/4 cup of pellets per 5 pounds of rabbit per day - no more. Give all the timothy hay he can eat - Alfalfa hay should not be given unless under 1 year of age. At 7 mos, I would mix alfalfa and timothy until he is 1 year, then just give timothy. Too many pellets will make the stool mushy. Also could be he is not eating his cecum - this is a separate type of poo that bunnies re-ingest directly from the anus - it sounds gross, but it's lots of nutrients that he didn't get the first time around, and it's really important he eats this. Usually you might see him do this at night or late afternoon - he'll put his head down between his legs and come up chewing something - this is usually cecum, and it has a much stronger odor. If he's overweight and can't get down there, he needs more hay, less pellets, and lots more time out to exercise (in a bunny proofed room of course!). Read up on articles on bunny health - I'm glad you love your bunny, they make the best pets and will give you years of love and attention! Good luck and lots of bunny love!
He must have had an upset tummy.


A bath won't exactly kill him, but just probably be a bit unpleasant for him. Hope he stays well!
a bath wont kill him but if he goes ';pooh'; like that again get him to a vet. Just make sure he is drinking so he doesnt get dehydrated.
