I'm just throwing this out there to see if I can find anyone with any advice for our rabbit.
He had been perfectly healthy and we got up Thursday morning to find him struggling to stay on his feet. By the afternoon he was on his side. We've taken him to a couple of vets and they are totally perplexed as to what is causing his illness. He does not seem to have any injury, but he is laying on his side only, but still looks to eat hay and veggies, and takes water from a syringe. We also started feeding him softened pellets with mashed banana, applesauce, or babyfood squash or carrots. We started antibiotics(SMZ suspension) and anti parasitic(Panacea) on Thursday eve and added anti-inflammatory on Friday morning. He still raises his head occasionally and as I said, eats and drinks some. They also checked his urine which showed some red blood cells, but no bacteria. He is pooping on his own, but we are having to express his bladder for him. He is very limp, but does have pain response in feet and moves his ears. Any advice you may be able to offer would be so greatly appreciated.
