Poor Freckles 
We adopted him in late July. if you don't know the bunderground story there's a thread about it on this forum.
He is neutered, was 1year old in may about 3lbs
Oxbow adult bunny pellets, about 1/8c per day
Unlimited hay, Timothy, orchard, oat as treats
2c veggies/day minimum, usu romaine and organic packaged green mixes, with mint, tomato fruit, basil from the garden (no pesticides, fertilizers), no iceberg, an occasional baby carrot about 1x a week
He's a happy, friendly, active bunny. No mood changes no matter what his tummy is up to. Cage is NIC 2w x 3L x 3h with x-pen attached that he has 24/7 access to. Litterbox trained.
Freckles has never had perfect poos. They tend to the smallish side but his vet visit in late July when we first got him found no issues. At that time he was also having soft fecals, and not eating cecals. We attributed this to stress from the massive travel he went through.
When restricted to hay and water his fecals normalized and he began consuming cecals. Gradually we reintroduced pellets and veggies and everything seemed ok. Slowly his fecals became smaller, and about 5 days ago output decreased. So we took pellets away and continued hay and veggies. We began baby gas drops in case this is pre-stasis. No change in fecal size. Wednesday night we started nutrical for dogs (saw it recommended in the library section) and continue gas drops.
Last night he began passing large, soft fecals around his cage, and passing some urine over them/with them. The fecals are formed but oblong and large, softer than normal. He has dribbled urine before, once or twice when we come home from being out (excitement perhaps?). He is a picky eater lately, sometimes loving his pellets, sometimes throwing the bowl and turning his nose up. Also he gets an oxbow digestive support tablet 1x a day except when he turned his nose up lately. Today I noticed his messy backside and I have made a vet appointment for him at 4pm today.
Sorry about the long post but I wanted to give as much info as I can. He is so tiny, and he's a spotted bunny. Could he be a megacolon bunny?
Also his box always has smelled like a barn. Neither of my other 2 bunnies smell.
Thanks for any advice
