I am looking for some urgent advice so I hope someone can help.
My 4 year old, male dwarf lop was ok Friday, but yesterday I noticed some runny poos and him bunched up in the corner of his litter tray.
His belly was solid and I suspected GI, he is on a daily treatment of Metacam for an ear problem which I gave him along with some Zantac, he seemed to perk up a little bit and wanted to cuddle with my other two buns, but when I felt him again he still was solid.
We didn't want to take him to the Vet's, unlike my other two who just don't like the vet, he is terrified to be out of his familiar area, but we decided we had no choice and he was admitted last night.
He has passed some poo and he is eating (my husband spoke to the vet some I am not sure if he is eating voluntarily), but he has had an X-ray which has shown a large bubble.
The vet has said that simethicone is not suitable and whilst he is eating and pooing he wants to just keep him on a pain killer (not Metacam) and hope that the bubble will disperse.
I am very nervous about this, I don't want him to go into any shock, I want the bubble gone, is there any advice anyone can give for me to pass on to my vet.
