My four year old herd sire is sick, hoping you guys can help me figure out why.
The only thing that has changed is that his feed intake has dropped, and he has runny poo. It's not the cecotrophs, or what ever those things are called, I can't ever remember the correct term, but his normal poop is suddenly very runny. No mucous, just runny.
Nothing has changed in his diet. He gets free choice of 18% pellets and grass hay, with papaya enzyme tablets 2x weekly and a small amount of birdseed once a week that he usually just uses as confetti around his cage.
Could it be disease related? Not sure why he would suddenly up and get sick when he was, and everyone else still is, as fit as a whistle. No new rabbits bringing anything in either.
Would like very much to keep him around, as he carries chinchilla and I was an idiot and didn't save back any kits from his previous litters thinking he was good to go for another couple years at least.
Thanks in advance.
