Jaro has EC and is unable to pee by himself - we have to manually express him twice a day.
There is more on his condition in this post > http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=3630&highlight=jaro+ec
He is on Parafend for the EC (Fenbendazole)
He seems to be gradually gaining weight / a swollen abdomen - and has been over the last 3 weeks or so.
he is also not pooing quite as much as he used to (although he is still regular, so it doesn't seem to be due to a blockage).
We are pretty sure this is neither bloat or GS (we have tried Infacol + Liquid Parafin) - and he does not seem to be in any discomfort from it.
Just wondering whether anyone has any suggestions, or if it could be simply weight gain - he is not as active as he was, although he still has a healthy appetite.
We've tried cutting back on his food a bit, and he now eats predominantly hay / timothy hay, with a small supplement of fresh carrot / coriander / supa-excel.
When we express him, I can feel the poos in his guts, and his stomach always seems to feel full and 'tight'.
I know we need to take him to the vets, I'm just trying to arm ourselves with some information first.
thanks
