Thank you
He hasn't got those symptoms. He's pooping perfectly, is alert and failrly active, he's has eaten most of his breakfast but he always acts as if he's starving and he's not doing that so much today, he is eating loads of hay and drinking.
The thing is he's not happy, and any rabbit owner knows when their baby isn't happy. He's wasn't happy yesterday and he's not that happy today, so what is it?
He has done a few small wees which is slightly unusual for him I think
His backside is clean and dry.
Is it me being over the top?? But I know he's not 100% himself, he's 90% :shock:

Are his poos normal in size and quantity ?
Given that he's a Rex are his hocks OK ?

Yep poops, big, round and nice colour and lots.
Hocks fine too. But there's something not quite right, I just know it. He is eating, but a bit less. I must admit his diet has got quite a lot of calcium in but I've never had problem with it before. His wee isn't sludgy.
I don't know. I just can't relax, because he's not my willow at the moment
