After Saturday's failed bonding attempt, Peter has barely eaten. He's been at the vets four times, the usual medicines administered.....gut stimulant, pain relief, even an antibiotic, all to no avail.
Barely anything passing through him and he's eaten practically nothing, maybe a tiny piece of apple and a couple of bits of kale.
Anyway, i put it down to shock/stress of the fight(s) during the attempted bond.
Peter has been admitted and is tonight at the surgery with decisions being made in the morning. He's on a drip and is being syringe fed.
It's all terribly sad. We got Poppy to make Peter happy and sadly, it's made him ill.
I may not reply much to this thread as I'm working long hours and have lots to do as you can imagine, but will be reading any suggestions as to what can be wrong.
For the record, he's been drinking lots, far more than usual, eating nothing much at all, which is so unlike him as he normally eats everything going. He passing liquid okay but no pellets, just two or three soft squidgy ones, and that's from Saturday. Vets not sure what's up at this stage, nothing obvious.
They said he has very small spurs in his mouth (he's only a year old) and that this may be the cause and it's just a coincidence the stress of the failed bond.
Anyway, fingers crossed he'll pull through as he's a very loved bunny.
Poppy is fine, no reaction at all.
Thanks for reading. Vibes for Peter please.......thanks, Steve
