Hi there.
Yesterday my rabbit was not eating or drinking and didn't want to move.
Took him to the vets and they kept him in over night to force feed him food and water.
They took x-rays today and said that he has Arthritis in his hips and lower spine.
He was alright on Wednesday night. Running around and jumping. Eating and drinking, and then within one day he can't move his back legs. Is this normal??
I bought him home from the verts tonight at 5.30 and he has only had about 4ml's of water from the syringe and about two bites of some lettuce (maybe not the best thing to give him but I have got lots of different things in the basket to try and tempt him.
I did buy some powder food called critical care for herbivores to feed him if he does not start eating, but I dont know how long I should wait before starting this.
Medication they have put him on is Metacam 0.5mls once a day and Baytril oral solution 1.6mls daily.
Any advice would be greatfully received
