I've noticed that my rabbit Pipkin has been having a bit of mucus in his poo. It's like the poo is a little moister than usual with a slimy coating, and sometimes there are little blobs of brown mucus. It's been like this for three days.
However, he has been eating and drinking fine, pooping the same amount as usual, and is still active. I've been reading lots online and it seems like a rabbit usually seems very ill when it has mucus in it's poo, so I'm confused.
I'm planning to take him to the vet tomorrow but I was wondering if anyone had ever experienced this.
Edit: I found a picture in this forum of megacolon poo, and I think he might have that, because his poo has always been irregular. Big, small, funky shaped. I don't know anything about this disease! Is it fatal? I just added him to the rabbit list and you can see he is white with black spots - apparently the coloring that gets this. He's never had stasis though, so I just don't know...
Bunny is three years old, netherland dwarf, eats timothy hay, Oxbow pellets, and green leaf lettuce
