Sorry for the really long post....
My bunny George is going through a heavy moult and although i keep brushing him and going over him with damp hands to help him along, he's constantly licking his fur.
The other day he was lying stretched out and would keep lying into different kept moving like he couldn't get comfortable. I gave him lots of tummy rubs and syringed lots of water into him. I even gave him some pinapple juice and made him run about. After 5 minutes or so he perked up and managed to nibble some greens. He's running about as normal now.
His eating is not as good as it usually is. He likes eating his pellets and is eating lots of hay. He's gone off his greens a bit and will only really nibble small amounts. He is eating though so its not like he's stopped altogether.
His poos are quite small and he occasionally he does a few normal sized ones that are strung together with fur.
Is this normal maulting behaviour and should I keep giving him lots of water and encouraging him to eat as much as possible or would a vet be able to help him better? As he is eating so you think he would need a gut stimulating injection?
