So one of my Holland does had a litter of 6 about a month ago, and the runt (can't tell if it's a girl or boy yet), does not seem to be eating much. (I'll just call him a boy for now). I visit the rabbit shed 3-4 times a day, and he's always cooped up in a corner of the cage while his littermates are either munching on hay or nibbling on pellets. Even when I give them oats in the morning and they all crowd around the dish, he stays put as if he's lazy or tired.
Also, I check his furry rump every day and every time, his vent area is plugged up with a mucus-type stool. It's a combination of both soft and hard stools encompassed in a jelly-like, yellowish clear type substance. His poop-hole is also red and swollen. It bled a little bit once.
I've been cleaning off the poops whenever possible with warm soap and water and then rinsing. I've also used a soother/anti-inflamatory cream on it, and it did nothing that I'm aware of.
He seems so frail and stiff-ish. What should I do?? =/
