http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showthread.php?t=152541 this is the original thread when I got him

I went into feed him this morning and he was lay in his litter tray with his head facing the back of his hutch so ~I called his name and he didn't eve flinch. He was taking short quick breaths (I really thought this was the end:cry:) and when I picked him up he never flinched or moved (not him he is an absolute wriggler and live wire). While i was holding him I felt a lump in his stomach and obviously feared the worst:(. Whether it was my driving to the vets or he had decided not to panic me, the lump had gone but he as a very gassy tummy, as had all the meds necessary and I have brought him home with me as I want to treat him here as it will only cause him more stress by them keeping in him:D
Little monkey, need loads of vibes for him to get better

He won't take any fluids, well he takes them and then spits it at me, he definately won't swollow it:(. I am wondering if it would be best for me to take him into the vets to be hospitalised:cry: any ideas or thoughts anyone I really do not want to lose him as he deserves a good life after the start he as had:?
 
I am SO sorry to hear that he is unwell. :cry: :cry: Perhaps if he continues to refuse to swallow liguids he will need IV fluids? :(

Poor bun......sending him loads of get well vibes, and huge hugs to you. :( xxxxx
 
god we've been there today too! Awww Kay! The vets are greaqt and if he is really not taking anything in so he could go on a some sort if iv or something there. Loads of vibes from all of us here!!! :love::love::love:

Lisa, the buns, Moo, Lottie and...er...oh yeah, Stephen! :love:
 
If he isn't taking any fluids, he definately needs hospitalisation as he'll dehydrate without any. You've tried keeping him comfortable, but i think he needs a bit more help, hun. Good luck with him.
 
I have just got back from the vets. He is all IV'd up and they are going to syringe feed him for me too:cry:
