Good news I hope. Bunny is still sick with lose stool but she was eating this evening. That is the first I've seen her eat since putting her in quarantine.

Well I found three pellets under her pen today so to me that seems to be a good sign. She is starting to eat more.

She still has some lose tho so we shall see.

Anyone have an idea how long she should stay by herself after everything looks normal?

She is on Sulmet for coccidia. She will have her own pin. I just wasn't to be able to put her back in the shed with the others. Not to soon tho.

I usually lean towards being more careful due to how nasty Cocci is. When mine had it 3 years ago, The first baby French lop I bought brought it in with her and it killed 15 of my 20 babies before the meds started working. Now if there is a chance for it everything gets put on lock down in my barn. I had a scare this year that it could have been that or a virus running through and the vet clarified that it was NOT Cocci thankfully but couldn't figure out what it was. I took everyone out of their cages daily and sanitized them all as well as their food and water dishes and medicated them. My barn is on lock down still even though they were not sick with anything contagious and it was most likely just the type of hay I got that time was too rich for the babies tummies. Sadly I lost 3 of them before their systems returned to normal BUT I did save the rest of them with gas relief and steam rolled oats. Their systems are compromised now though from being on antibiotics until the results came back on what was happening so nothing is coming into my barn for another month until their immune systems and guts are back on track fully.
