I've got a bunny at the mo that is concerning me.
For a while he has been producing excess cecatrophes so I've been adjusting his diet and giving him Fibreplex. When he has no pellets but fibreplex its much better. He has a tendency to sit in it so gets it stuck to the base of his tail.
Yesterday I was grooming that off and the tail where it was looked a bit red and sore (possibly due to my grooming, I'm not very good!). I also noticed that his fur didn't feel 'right' (like maybe a bit greasier and looked rougher).
Being me I gave him some Metacam (in case his tail was sore). Today, no excess cecatrophes, fur looks better.
Can't help but feel there is no relation there but what, I don't know.
Indicates possibly he is in pain but there are no signs as to what it could be and no behavioural signs he feels anything other than wonderful (other than what I've mentioned).
Does anyone have any thoughts?
I was worried about his teeth at one point, but when he was neutered (two and a half weeks ago) they checked and found no spurs. But maybe roots?
