We had 6 of our buns neutered on Wednesday (26th June) all are well and eating and pooping and are on Metacam but one of the buns has terrible
diarrhea, could it be the Metacam as he had one dose last night ?
The rabbit in question is Thomas who is the runt of the litter :(

Is it definitely diarrhoea or is it caecs?

Is Thomas on anything other than metacam? If he does have diarrhoea, i'd start giving fluids if possible and perhaps contact the vet?

Vibes for Thomas, !

No it's defo diarrhoea . He only had metacam last night. We have just rang our vet for advice and we are waiting now for her to ring
back.

Thanks Graham :thumb:
 
In which case yeah, oral fluids at minimum, and hopefully the vet can give some ideas :wave:

Good luck, hope he is ok.
 
I think I would be thinking more along the lines of a bit of a reaction to the anaesethic. It happens in people as well if they are given more induction agent than actually needed, it can upset tummies really badly. I think he definitely needs to be assessed and fluids administered. Let us know how he does please. How old are the boys? I thought they were a little too young to neuter yet.

Update 13:34 pm

The vet hasn't rang us back so she must be busy but we have made an appointment for Thomas at the vet's and he's there for 4:00pm as he isn't getting any better and the diarrhoea is like water now and so it's not good, he also hasn't eaten any hay or pellets so far today :(
Mike has just given him some fluids.

Can I have Vibes for Tiny Thomas Please

Thank You xx

UPDATE 6:25 pm

The vet said that Thomas has had a reaction to the anaesthetic that he had when he was neutered and he is on Metronidazole, Dioralyte and Rehydration support. We also have to keep him nice and warm.
He's now back home in a big bed of hay with a heat pad and we have covered his indoor cage half over with a thick fleece to keep him toasty warm.




Thanks Guys for the Vibes xxxx

I thought it was likely to be that. Am so happy that he has got lots of support now though to help him through this, and he sounds lovely and comfortable. So what time does he want his hot choc and fleecy slippers :lol::lol:
