Are they about a cm long and about 1/2mm thick and white opaque?

If they are it sounds like pin worms. Nothing to urgently worry about but bring him to the vet tomorrow for a dose of panacur. Zion had these and he was fine.

he still isnt himself.

what if it isnt that?

should i call the vet now?

Not sure how long they r, they are coming out of his poo.

If your rabbit is ill and you're not sure if he needs a vet, then call the vet and ask. Non of us are vets here and we can only give you suggestions. You need a vet to diagnoise and treat a condition accurately.

It does sound like it could be pinworms, but it sounds as if you're extremely worried and he is still not right so I would suggest ringing your vet for advice. It's possible that if it is pinworms, that could be the reason for his sluggish guts today, but hopefully your vet will be able to discuss what is going on with you and decide if he needs to be seen today. Have you turned him over and had a good look around his bottom area to check that everything else there looks normal?

I agree. If you're that worried call the vet and keep the poo.

Phoned the vet - she said to take him straight down.

He is being kept in overnight - vet isnt sure what it is but as he is not pooing,drinking or eating well she wants to be extra careful by keeping him in.

She said it was nothing that i had done or not done, but i am still so worried. We have thoroughly cleared and disinfected his shed hutch etc.

Thank you everyone for your help and advise.

I shall ring later to see how he is and then in the morning i can hopefully pick him up.

Oh no! Poor Dobbin, he is having a rough time of it. iIwas just thinking about him the other day, as last time I heared about him he had snuffles. (are they better now?)
I hope he wil be home and all better soon.
 
It's horrible feeling so helpless, isn't it? He's in the best place and you've done all you can for him. Hope you get some good news soon.
 
Oh dear Sue, you must be out of your mind with worry :cry: As Sarah says, you've done all you can for him and he is in the best possible place for care now - fingers crossed we all get some good news about his progress in the morning. Take care, big hugs to you xxxx
 
Pinworms

Hi,

Please don't forget that humans can pick up these worms from infected rabbits - it is NOT a good experience. Extra care with personal hygiene can save a lot of distress.

Hope this is helpful.
 
I totally know what ur going through right now, its so awful when they get ill, u truly realise how much they mean to u, I hope he gets better soon :)
