Awww, sorry Tree. :( What a nightmare weekend.

It's probably a good idea to ask the vet to look into the bunny's throat, if it isn't eating. My oldie Popsel wasn't feeling well before Christmas, so my mother took him to the vet, and they gave him all sorts of injections and my mother had to feed him with a syringe. She noticed that he could not breathe well when she tried to feed him and went back to the vet. This time the other vet (they are two who share the practise) was there and she checked Popsel's throat and pulled out a 4 inch hair sausage. It had built up from some hair that was stuck to a molar. The other vet hadn't even thought of that possibility.
