Hello ,,
I have been owning bunny sice 3 months approx,,
Hes about 4 months old ,,
He was very hyper and eats a LOT , and loves his hay pellets,,
But lately "3days ago" he stopped eating properly , he keeps throwing away his pellets bowl and doesnt drink water ,,
His poop is a bit glossy but it is hard , and he pees ok ,,,
I heard him grining his teeth , so i thought it was a tooth ache , then again his ears were hot so i thoght he had fever, i put cool pads on his ears every once and a while , and i took his pellets and some vitamins and put some hot water and made them into a paste and he ate half of the plate which makes me happy cuz at least hes eating something,,
Im still looking for a vet that wud treat rabbits :( but what should i do until then?
 
Hello

I assume that you are not in the UK ?

It is certainly very important to get your Rabbit to a Vet. Tooth grinding indicates severe pain, so at the very least your Rabbit needs pain relief.

It is importnat to keep him eating and pooing even if all he will take is the paste. If he were to stop eating all together then he would go into gut stasis and become extremely sick. His life would be in danger. Water is also essential. He will get some in the wet pellet paste which should help.

The best thing you can do is to locate a Vet who will see your Rabbit today

Good luck
