Mr had a dicky tum on Thursday evening had almost diarrhoea type poo, so I booked into the vet for good Friday and he appeared disinterested in his food. My usual vet wasn't there so I was seen by a young vet. He did seem quite bunny savvy although struggled with English (I think he was from Fiji) he prescribed metacam, antibiotics and antacids (not sure why) he also gave us some recovery food.
He checked his bum, ears and teeth very thourghly and said he had 1 slight problem with a different tooth to his last molar problem, he didn't think it needed surgery yet and was only slight and suggested trying to encourage more hay (mr isn't a big hay eater) he also weighed him and he has lost weight from his last visit 5 months ago.
Mr on Friday had a little bit of 'snot' near his nose which the vet noticed. Wilma has gained weight and quite a bit too. Wilma also has a bit of a wet nose with a clear snot.
Now I took both with me to visit family an hours drive away for the bank holiday weekend they both seemed very indifferent to food and I never saw them eating but it was gone come morning. Mr also did TINY dark black poos (wilmas seemed normal and dark gold)
Returned today and both are wandering round but neither seemed interested in any pellets although they normally go mad for them and neither rushed to rip veggies off me either. Mr seems very lethargic and was snuggled to wilma looking like a banana very bent in his middle. (hard to explain but he just looked a bit weird) not sure if he was just supremely comfy or possibly in some pain.
Also getting him to take meds is VERY hard even with two of us...any advice on the meds or ideas what could be up with the pair.....would one stop eating if the other was il??
We are both really worried for him as at times he seems himself but then others he seems very 'off'
