My lionhead bunny isn't pooping!!

[pinknstink]

A couple of days ago, my bunny started having diarrhea. Now he isn't pooping at all. He's eating a lot of hay and he eats everything we give him, but he isn't drinking a lot if water. I've tried a bunch of medicines, too. We've also gone to the vet twice. He also was born with a deformed eye and he has wolfteeth. Please help!

What tests did the vet do, and what meds and treatment is your rabbit getting? True watery diarrhea in a rabbit is very serious. It could be coccidiosis caused by a parasite, or bacterial enteritis caused by harmful bacteria. A fecal sample can be tested to discover which is the cause so the appropriate meds are prescribed. If not treated correctly with the right meds, the diarrhea can then lead to stasis(no pooping). So the important thing is whether your rabbit was tested and received the correct medicine to treat either of these?

If your rabbit isn't drinking on his own then you either need to be giving fluids sub q(under vets instructions) or syringing fluids to your bun so he doesn't get dehydrated.
