Product Information

Discomfort – Rabbits are stoic prey animals that hide pain and illness. Significant behavior changes like lethargy, reduced appetite, teeth grinding, and isolation signals they are unwell and suffering.

Litter habits: Provide adequate litter boxes. Scoop frequently to keep very clean. Use non-irritating, absorbent litter. Fur matting – long fur around the rear can trap feces and urine, as well as obscure the problem from view. Common in angora and other long-haired breeds. The matted poop and dampness on the skin can lead to irritation, inflammation, and even infection. Poopy butt is not only unsanitary but also very unpleasant for rabbits. The compacted feces and urine soaked into the fur causes significant discomfort. The rabbit may try to scratch or bite the area to relieve the irritation. This can cause further pain and inflammation. Flystrike – Flies are attracted to the soiled fur and can lay eggs which rapidly hatch into flesh-eating maggots that tunnel into the skin. Flystrike is often fatal if not caught immediately. Apply antiseptic – If there are any broken areas of skin, dab on a rabbit-safe antiseptic cream using a cotton swab. This prevents infection.Recording under the artist names the Toilet Bowl Cleaners and the Odd Man Who Sings About Poop, Puke, and Pee, Farley has a wide array of songs devoted to this particular human experience. A 2021 profile of Farley on Debugger notes that when he noticed a trend of the poop songs being popular, he assumed it was because kids were getting into their parents’ Spotify accounts and typing in naughty words. Health monitoring: Note any signs of diarrhea, lethargy, poor appetite, or illness and see a vet promptly. Have annual wellness exams. Sanitation: Disinfect litter boxes, cages, and living areas regularly to prevent communicable illnesses. Prepare supplies – Have ready cotton balls, wipe or wash cloth, warm water, rabbit or small animal dry shampoo, scissors, comb, and rabbit-safe disinfectant. Never use soaps, shampoos, or disinfectants made for other animals as these can be toxic to rabbits.

With the proper supplies and techniques, rabbit owners can safely clean up mild cases of poopy butt at home. More severe cases with considerable skin inflammation and irritation may need veterinary attention, sedation, and prescription remedies to properly treat. Spot cleaning every day to avoid another build up of poo. Decrease in mobility – As rabbits age and lose muscle strength and flexibility, they may not be able to properly groom themselves which allows poop to build up again. While poopy butt may seem like just a harmless, messy nuisance, there are potentially serious health consequences for a rabbit if the condition is left untreated: Rectal prolapse – The straining and inflammation from poopy butt can cause part of the rectum to protrude and become traumatized. This is very painful and can lead to dangerous infection or rectal necrosis.Staying on top of daily grooming and hygiene prevents recurrence of messy, uncomfortable poopy butt in bunnies. It also avoids progression to more stubborn matting and skin infection that requires extensive treatment. Noticing slight changes early makes a big difference. Steps to take to prevent poopy butt Rinse – Use a fresh damp cloth to remove shampoo residue. Dry the area thoroughly with a towel or dry cloth. Exercise: Allow rabbit daily active time and space to hop and play which supports intestinal mobility and bowel regularity.
