I noticed Speckled Baby was different last night after the feed. I think s/he may have taken in air with the milk as s/he was fine before the feed. I did give tunny rubs last night before bed.

This morning very quite almost floppy baby with slow nose twitches.

I have tried my best to syringe feed tomato juice followed by water with some probiotic and infacol.

I have put baby back in the nest with siblings who have cuddled around him/her.

Going home from work in a couple of hours to check. Any ideas on what else I can try?

no I'm sorry have no clue - just best wishes for the poor mite :( Probably a good idea to ring a rabbit savvy vet and ask the vet to ring you back when they get a minute maybe?
 
Im sorry I cant help but just want to send baby lots of vibes. I agree about having a chat with the vet :)
 
Phoned the vets but got the usual... without the vet seeing the bunny.... answer. The nurse could not suggest anything other than what I had tried :cry:

Going home shortly to check and carefully try more fluids.

Some time between 9.30am and 12.45pm Speckled Baby went to the bridge.

:cry: I am so very sorry. May Speckled Baby be reunited with his mummy and binky with her at the bridge xxx
 
Thanks everyone, I'm starting to feel it more now actually, but I think you do when you are tired. I'm going to burry the little one in a hay nest box in my garden.
