I have a small herd of rabbits and today my son (the regular feeder) noticed that this particular rabbit hadn't eaten her food in a few days. When I picked her up to check her out, I noticed that she had huge globs of poop stuck to her bum. I plucked her about a week ago and she was slightly under condition so I've been giving her "extra" dandilion greens, alfalfa, pellets. Today when I picked her up she is just a rack of bones! I greatly appreciate any help. Since I've brought her in my house I've watched her nibble at her pellets and drink a LOT of water. She's had a few runny poops, too.

How old is this rabbit?
Did you clean the rabbit's bum off? (And trim the hair, too, so it's less likely to get caught up again?0
Any idea what she was eating before you got her?

The rabbit is about a year old. I did clean her off, and i am feeding the same brand of pellets from the same store. I had her in a tractor on the ground and was moving it around. I'm afraid I may've just given her too much fresh green stuff. I'm giving her oatmeal now to try to counteract the effects of the green. Thanks!
