Young Bun
We found him in the run today with diarrhoea and looking sorry for himself - he was fine this morning when I let him and Susie out the hutch into the run and did the morning clean and litter tray change.
There have been more cecotrophs (sp?) the last few days but he has been well.
I took him to the vet who seemed to have good rabbit knowledgeable.
She checked temperature and gave him an allover physical examination checking for wounds etc and also checking his neck as he had a cyst 12 months ago which was removed by surgery. He was weighed.
He had 3 injections, anitbiotic, anti inflammatory and 3rd which was metacloprimide (sp?).
I have been given baytril to give at home twice a day. Also some sachets of 'recovery' powder to be given each day.
Is there anything else Archie should have or the vert should have prescribed.
He is fairly happy now he has had a clean and seems chilled and not poorly.
She recommended after cleaning him up to keep him indoors overnight to keep an eye on him and to syringe the recovery stuff (looks like liquid grass)
We have set him up in his older run on mat in lounge with water bottle, litter tray and hay only. I have made up some of the liquid stuff i his water bottle and we have been attempting to syring small amounts and he has licked the stuff we spilt off his paws. He is happy to eat hay.
The vet said for tonight to keep himindoors and away from Susie just to see how he gets on. Was this right? Or should we have Susie indoors too?
