One of my 5 1/2 week old rabbits has a poopy butt, the other 5 are fine. I would describe it as-- she has soft or loose stools and it sticks together and becomes a big blob around her butt - slightly stinky when I clean it off. She had it yesterday, I cleaned a big blob off her little but 4 times. This morning she had no more poo blobs on her butt, but this afternoon its happening again she had a big blob of soft sticky poo. She seems normal otherwise, still eating. The mother passed a several loose stools yesterday but it was followed by firm normal round poos.
I have imodium- would giving her some be jumping the gun a bit? Its the second day of her having a poopy butt.
I read here the dose for imodium is 1mg per 1kg rabbit.

I was thinking about dissolving a 2mg tablet of imodium for humans into 3 table spoons of water and giving her about 4 drops of that. Or should I just wait.
