hello

when i have been chicking the rabbits out before lexis op
i noticed marbles is not eating much and lost alot of weight since she had her op earlier this yea and lexi on the other hand have gone very fat! i know it could be down to lexi pinching marbles food (being dominant because of hormones) also aswel i have noticed she has been stuggling to get up her ladder/ slope thing, and she wont come near me at all constantly running away wont even go near me or nothing i have tried my hardest for her to get used to me everything and nothing i am quite worried too there both worrieng me after i have sorted out lexi im going to have a word with the vets about marbles too and because im working now its hard to get time off the food their eating is p@h adult rabbit nuggets and there having a dish full a day and loooaads of hay too
anybody had this problem
 
Marbles needs to be seen by a Vet ASAP. She may have Dental problems making eating painful. Any unexplained weight loss in a Rabbit is something which always, without exception, needs very prompt Veterinary attention. Unexplained weight loss can be the first symptom of numerous problems. The longer you wait before consulting a Vet the bigger the problem may become. I would contact the Vet today

Good luck.
 
yea i will have a word today and before that i will try and catch her and check her teeth myself i know the lookouts for a dental needed to if they are cause for concern she will be there the same day (if theres appointment...) ;)
