I got up and went to feed to rabbits and Vinnie was lying down,he never lies down ive never ever seen him do it,i put the food down and he didnt touch it,he then ran off and hid then lay down again,So i thought im going to have to get him to the vets,I gave him zantac and some infacol then went to walk the dogs,came back and went upstairs he was sitting there eating spring greens baring in mind id walked the dogs crying and rang in work saying i was going to be late in!!!!! He then ate some carrots dry food 5 mins later he was sitting in his litter tray eating hay!!!! Neil checked on him at lunch he was fine,hes ate all his dinner tonight so i wonder what was wrong with him????

Sounds like it might be gas. Gas can cause intense pain that can clear up in minutes if the bun has a good f*rt

Might be worth cutting back on the greens to see if that helps?
 
I rang the vets today and told her about Vinnie and i said i thought maybe the steriod had worn off,She said it wouldnt of yet,She said she is going to send his notes to the university to see if they can come up with any idea on how to treat him,She has mentioned him having blood tests is that a good idea?

Blood tests are a great idea. Even if the don't tell you what the problem is, they might tell you what it isn't :)
 
Sending extra special vibes for Vinnie xx :)

I hope he feels better soon and I hope that the blood tests don't show up anything nasty, bless him.
 
Vinnie has had his blood tests done,I didnt realise they took it from the jugla poor Vinnie has a shaved neck now:( He hadnt had a poo all day but has been eating,But he has had a poo now thank god,My vet is going to get in touch with the university and francis harcourt brown has anyone had any dealings with her??? I really just want Vinnie better its such a worry:(
 
Lots of vibes for Vinnie. The waiting to find out whats wrong is the worst bit. Were getting a specialist referral on Monday for Snowdrop and not knowing is horrible.

Were not sure yet but probably Bristol. Luckily Snowdrop is insured as I can imagine its going to be fairly costly to find out whats going on in her tummy. I am also terrified about her having a GA.
 
I hope you get some good news with the blood test results.
Do you know what tests have been done?
