New Kit
we bought a rabbit from pets at home about 4 days ago, they told us he was a netherland dwarf crossed with a netherland lop but by looking at others that doesnt seem right as he has straight ears and his face is not as snubbed as the dwarfs, the only thing they didnt lie about is his age, hes only 10 weeks old which the vet reassured us is right
for the past 3 days he has been really ill with gi stasis and snuffles, we took him to the vets and they looked after him overnight, we have had him back for a day, we are force feeding him water, hes eating a bit of hay, and we are giving him panacur 0.75 ml per day, baytril 0.4 ml twice a day and metacam 0.75 ml once a day, which the vets gave us to give him,
our problem is his feces is like water and its really worrying us, is this normal as at least its showing us his guts are moving again a bit which is a good sign, any help would be greatly appreciated,
thanks

p.s this has cost us over £180 just for treatment and they still only gave him a 50/50 chance!
just thought id add he also keeps licking the runny feces, my guess is to get his fluids back into him, is this normal as it is our 1st rabbit
