bunkin
Warren Veteran
I have posted alot about this so apologies to everyone. History as quick as possible - had bunny nearly 3 years he is nearly 8 years old. Neutered male. Every 4-5 weeks from being perfectly healthy and happy eating everything in sight one minute and then he suddenly does not want anything to do with us, refuses food and water. Spends his time hiding in his tunnel in what looks like happy bunny flop, seemingly only half awake.
I have had endless vet trips and loads of vets. They can never find anything wrong with him on exam etc. We have changed everything about his diet totally over the time and nothing has made a jot of difference.
Have given him high dose loxicom and ranitidine last twice and no differenc whatsoever.
He always gets totally back to normal in less than 24 hrs usually 12-16 hrs. He first starts by grooming himself and moving around, then eating hay and drinking water and finally eating food. He is completely normal.
There is nothing at all to indicate when it is going to happen, no change in poo or wee or eating.
It is now happening every 4 weeks to the day!!!!!!!!!!!
This mornng he was wildy happy binkying around and racing from room to room, had mugged us for food and was a very happy bunny. He happy flopped behind the sofa and 30 mins later would have nothing to do with us or food and is now in his tunnel.
He is a very good litter tray trained bunny and never ever makes a mess anywhere else but when he is like this he will at some point go and wee on our rug in front of fire?? He never ever does this at any other time so now we confine him while he is like this to stop him doing it.
He had a poo before and looks normal.
Oh and he gets the trembles about 3 hrs into it that stop after about 6 hrs.
The pattern is exactly same every single time.
Everyone at total loss as to what there episodes are from. He recovers so quickly and is totally back to himself afterwards.
