I have no idea what was going on. Sorry for the outcome. If you ever figure it out, let us know.

Never mind, she screamed again, thick poo kept coming out and she passed away.
So sorry you lost her....sounds like enteropathy of some kind....very hard to treat once it gets bad. At least you know that you tried and that she was not alone and as comfortable as you could make her....I would watch the rest of them and look up mucuoid enteropathy online. There are some things you can try right away if you notice it in any of the other rabbits.

:hugs So sorry for your loss...it's never easy to loose one :(
As soon as I read "sloshy sound," I was thinking the same thing. Make sure that the other rabbits have plenty of good quality hay available to them and if any start showing symptoms (like diarrhea, listless, goes off feed), pull pellets and offer only oats and hay. I found a good article about it online if you want to check it out: Mucoid enteritis

Thank you everyone. It was a real disappointment, I went ahead with some preventive measures with everyone else, I had a 3 go off feed, so I put pedialyte in everyone's waters, large amounts of hay and oats with their pellets, next day everyone was just fine and active, yesterday and today I offered pellets with the oats and they dug right in. I think everyone will be just fine :fl . I will post some pics in a new thread once I get some, introduce my new members. They are still on quarantine and will be oh say the next 30 days, added some more just because of this experience. I want to be sure everyone is A O K. Before they enter the "barn". :)

Here is the one picture I got of Jade, this is 2 days before she passed, just a normal nosy bun. She had a very sweet personality and calm, I kind of look back and wonder if that was just the beginning symptoms and I just didn't know. :/
