We just acquired some Lops and have babies. Everything was going well untill the severe heat hit.
We lost one one day and another the next.I figured the issue was they were not getting enough water. Maybe they could not figure out how to use the bottle. So we put bows in as well.
I have always given veggie scraps. green lettuce (not iceberg) carrots, apple, greens, cilantro, parsley. I think that about covers it.
Anyway, I noticed one of the babes bottoms was swollen and red and infected. His/her poo was caking up.
I took everything out accept water, pellets, timothy hay. I clean bottom several times a day. Trying to keep the area clean and the poo from backing up again.
The infection is healing but the poo is still not normal. It has been almost two weeks. What am I doing wrong? I love his temperament. He is a complete sweety. His weight is low so I was giving oatmeal. The good kind not the quick oats. All but one of sibs are gone (sold). The other is twice his size.
I want this guy to survive. He wont be sold Im too attached now but I like him.
