Has he poo'd today ?

When was the last time you can be 100% certain he was eating ? If it was when you fed him this morning then he cannot wait til tomorrow to be seen by a Vet. This is especially true if you do not think he has poo'd today.

If you call the number of the Vet you are registered with there should be a recorded message as to who to contact in an out-of-hours emergency.
 
All practices have an out of ours service - usually a large practice in the area will do emergency cover for all the small practices in the area. If you ring your usual number it should give you the out of hours number to ring.
 
ive rung the normal number but it doesnt say about a emergency number just says ring bk at 8:50 :cry:
i dunno what to do he wont eat hes laying down do i leave him in the shed with amy do i bring him in and try and warm him up
i dont know:cry: mum keeps telling me theres nothing i can do accept hope i wish i knew what was wrong it just come on so fast :cry:
 
Where abouts are you? If you post a thread called something like "Emergency vet needed in x" in rabbit chat people might know of a nearbyish emergency vet you could try.

I didnt see this but i dont think it would of worked but thanks for the idea anway :(
sadly last night i went out to try and feed him some more grass and veg or anything but i was too late he already passed
amy was with so he wasnt alone :cry:
 
I'm so sorry he's gone. :(

Sadly bunnies tummies are very sensitive and once they stop eating they go downhill very quickly, a GI slow down could be caused by a number of things.
 
Oh no :cry: im so so sorry Lucy :(
i really dont know what to say, i know no words will help, but i know how you feel after been through it with toby, so if you want to talk about it you know where i am.
binky free dec xx
