im shaking as im writtin this, i think theres something wrong with shauny.

he ate his pellets this morning fine. Ive just walked past our room and he was sitting on the bed, he does wee on the bed (hasnt for bout 5 weeks) iwent over to stroke him and he moved to the other side of the bed and sat down where he had been he had weeded.

He then ran into his box where he did another wee (he has never done that).

He wont eat the greens we have just got for him. Ive tested his urine everything is fine (no blood) but his protine was 2+, not sure what that means i need help and advice .

If he will not eat anything then he probably has GI Stasis and your best bet is to get him to a vets ASAP. Rabbits goe downhill really quickly, so the earlier you can treat it the better.

Is he drinking and/or pooing at all? Does he have a history of teeth trouble?

Lots of vibes

OK, you need to get him to a vet today. In the meantime, keep him warm and try to get him to hop about if you can, it can help their digestion.

Good luck at the vet. You've got him treatment early, so he stands a much better chance of getting better.
Sending lots of vibes (and hugs) to you.

I know, I can tell how upset you are :(
Try and keep calm and normal around Shauny though, as I'm sure they can pick up on our distress.
He'll be fine.
 
just got back from the vets, he has to stay in over night, hes on a drip and going to have meds. My poor baby, i have been crying non stop. Please send loads of vibes for my lil man.

Aww bless you, but you've done the right thing, and the drip and meds will help a lot. Bunnies dehydrate very quickly and when they do, they absorb moisture out of their guts and that also stops their guts from working - so the drip alone should really help to make him feel better and get everything moving again. Fingers crossed for some good news in the morning xxx
 
He's in the best hands now - they know what to do.
Squidgy once went in with a blockage and had to have surgery etc. He stayed in for a week, and came home right as rain. They can do amazing things now.
Lots of vibes for him.
 
Sending loads and loads of vibes.

I really hope you have some good news soon. I'm sure Shauny knows how much he means to you.
