Constipation is a fact of life for people and animals including rabbits. Pet rabbits can have constipation from time to time, which is very common. However, constipation that lasts more than a day or two and happens on a regular basis is not common and should be reported to your rabbit’s veterinarian. Signs of constipation may include your rabbit straining to poop or not pooping at all. His poop may also be hard or it could be dark due to traces of blood within it. Rabbits in general have sensitive digestive tracks. Feeding him appropriate balances of food, treats and hay is key for keeping him healthy and constipation free. The diet should include leafy greens, vegetables such as carrots, broccoli stems, and cabbage, and occasional fruit. Besides diet, causes of constipation may also be stress, illness, dental issues or even intestinal blockages. Talk to your professional vet San Antonio TX to learn more.
