    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions.

Whilst having his castration the vet noticed that his abcess had grown back more inside this time so he had to have another op to remove it and hes not a happy bunny so to speak, hes had a drink but not eaten but he has done some poos i will be keeping a close eye on him for a few days!
Richie had his castration and he was fine :D

Ok so theres no change in him whatsoever from yesterday, hes not eating or drinking much (i have hand fed him a few strands of hay and 3 pellets thats all he would have) and hes barely moving and when he does move hes dragging one leg behind him. I have called the vets and am waiting for a call back, fingers crossed for him please x

Oh no poor chap :cry:
I really hope he will be OK

Poor love! I hope he comes round soon. Does he like any leaves or fruit as a special treat? I wondered whether he would eat those.
 
Been to vets

Thanks everyone
Christobel called me and told me to come down straight away, his leg is very inflammed so he is probably in lots of pain hopefully that doesn't mean that the abcess has come back for the third time.
I have to keep a close eye on him, he had an injection at the vet and has metacam to have for the next few days and as hes not eating he has maxolon, he has eaten a piece of brocolli and some parsley since we got home so things are looking up x
