Hi everyone this is my first post,
I had to take my daughters Netherland Dwarf who is 3yrs old to the vet today as we think he has EC, He is not housed with any other rabbits and has been in great health up until Friday he seemed a little week on his back legs so we kept an eye on him as he was still hopping around etc
When we checked him the next day he seemed a little weaker but the vet said it didnt sound like an emergency as they wernt actually open to make an appointment today.
Now all of his legs seem very weak and spread out when he is trying to move around he has stopped eating and drinking and is no longer moving about. The vet has told us to give him some panacur and if he is no better to take him back on Wednesday now to the hole - Obviously because he is not moving around he is peeing on himself so today when my daughter came back from school we let her get him out so he could be given some water in a syringe and some blended food (vet advised us to do this) and obviously the Panacur and we cleaned him up a little with some wet cotton wool.
Now someone please tell me Im just being an idiot and its his anus or something but there is a hole next to his organs I think thye are his scent glands but they never seem dirty so we dont normally clean them I have taken a picture of it below there is a little skin on the other side but this looks like its an actual hole (I say he but looking a little more closely Im not 100% he is actually a he as he has no visible testicles)
Please any help would be great for the EC and the hole we are currently feeding him blended food (his normal food soaked in water the blended) along with a little vionate just to see if we can help him out a little.
