Hey one of my rabbits wasn't well all week and he's fine now but it is still bugging me not knowing what caused it so wondered if anyone could help.
His symptoms were anorexia, dribbling, dirty bottom/constipation, lethargy and weakness. He was at the vet numerous times and I syringe fed him for 2 days before he picked up. Really thought I was going to lose him at one point.
He was refusing hay and pellets and would only take his syringe feeds and some parsley, thyme and carrot tops.
I had to clean his bottom twice - didnt seem to be diarrhoea just uneaten soft droppings and he wasn't producing many pellets.
His front teeth are perfect and vet said his back are fine.
Now he's back to normal munching hay and pellets, no drool and clean bottom. Any idea what was wrong with him? Or how I can prevent it happening again?
Thanks
