When feeding Max this morning I noticed he hadn't touched hardly any food. Gave him some fresh food and some vegetables and herbs and he wasn't interested, usually he goes mad for the vegetables & herbs so thought it was a bit unusual. I went home at lunch time and he had ate a couple of bits of parsley and that was it. I gave him his favourite foods, a bit of carrot, apple and a red grape and he wasn’t interested at all. I then gave him some treats (he only has these occasionally but adores them usually), he sniffed them, picked one up as if he was going to eat it but put it down.
I noticed that he had been to the toilet but left 1/2 big squishy poos that they are supposed to eat. While reading up on the internet a read on a site that if your rabbit hasn’t been eating these they maybe unwell, I then remembered that this week I have had to clean a few of these up off his cage floor.
He also seems a bit scared, we had strong wind that blew down too fences yesterday and although he is a house bun I wondered if the noise may have scared him – he would have been able to seem it from where his cage is (out of the patio window).
The only other thing is his eyes I have noticed they have been getting what seems like sleep in both of them. I have been cleaning them and have a vets appointment for this evening. Do I need to ask for an x-ray of his back teeth? – he is a lop.
Thanks if anyone can give any help. I don't know if I'm just being paranoid or if he is actually ill. He has been having treatments for ear mites quite a lot over the last 7/8 months but these seem to have cleared up. He does seem to molt a lot also.
