Diarrhoea in a rabbit is a serious problem that shouldn’t be ignored. As a rabbit owner, it’s important to check that your rabbit is passing normal, solid pellets every day.
Healthy rabbits don’t drool/dribble - if you notice your rabbit drooling, it’s likely that something is wrong. Often, the drooling itself isn’t obvious - keep a look out for wet fur and hair loss around their mouth and chin.
Deciding to put your pet to sleep is one of the hardest decisions you will make as a pet owner. Watch our video where PDSA vet Fran answers your questions on how to know if it's the right thing to do.
