I previously posted saying finley wasnt quite right and huge thanks to jacks-jane who recommended i take him to the vet we've had quite a saga since monday.
here's my previous post http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showthread.php?t=275685
well i took him on monday as he was a bit off colour and scratching at his ears he has a horrible infection in both ears so we started canaural and baytril. by tuesday he was off colour so we added in metacam to help the inflammation. then he fell out of his hutch (my fault he's deaf i gave him a fright and he came up and over the door landed fine ) he was hopping around and fairly bright but still wouldnt eat so we added vetergesic (strong painkiller) just incase back pain.
Vet advised to syringe feed at home that didnt go well and ended up him collapsing on me through stress.
Now next step is to go in tomorrow for x-rays teeth check and syringe his ears but i'm obviously Very concerned re not eating he is getting fibreplex and metocloprimide but no real nutrition.
How can i get food in to him without to much stress? also he is bonded and she is now becoming stressed by the whole situation do i take them both along to the vets or do i leave her to save her becoming stressed?
Sorry for the long post but i'm totally panic stricken
