Can anyone give advice please?
We have a very sick rabbit on Friday morning.He could hardly move and was obviously in pain-unable to poo and even when straining to do so. He was also wet underneath. We took him straight to the vet who said he had a full colon and bladder . They tried to relieve the bladder with a syringe and gave him Zantac syrup. We nursed him through last night and he seems livelier today and has managed to pass a few pellets, but less than normal. He is still very wet as he can't pee properly but seems to be constantly dripping , he is beginning to stain (a orange-red colour) and smellls strongly. He is eating again and seems much more like his old self (getting cross when we try to feed him the Zantac)but we are still worried about him.
Is there anything else we can do? Is this simply the 'stasis' I've read about ?
Weve got a fresh pineapple ready if that will help ...Ive seen some recommend this.
Thanks David
