I'm not sure where to put this and I really need help as I'm so worried & upset.
I just went to feed my boys & noticed Badger was just sitting hunched up in a corner and uninterested in his food. I scooped him up and checked him all over and all I can see is two slits either side of his bum which looks very red and painful. I'm guessing that he must have been face humping & somebun bit him?
I've taken him out of their room and popped him in the bathroom overnight as it's all I've got that's wire & escape proof with no other rabbits. I've put him bowls of food & water down and an empty carrier with some vet bed and a t shirt I've been wearing today for him to snuggle up with & hopefully calm him as he's never been alone. He's just balled himself up and is generally not happy.
This led me to check the other three - Blackavar is fine except for a wet patch under his chin - could he just have got it wet or could he be drooling as part of a dental issue. He eats loads of hay now & has pellets, but he was a stud bunny until I got him last September and was on museli & I suspect little to no hay as he didn't eat it at first.
Whilst I was checking him, my OH was checking Blueberry & says he is the same as Badger, but not as bad. He's bright & bouncy & hungry as normal as is Blackavar and Slipper.
Slipper also has these two slit things, but they're not red and inflamed, I can't think how to describe them.
Needless to say, all 4 buns are going straight down to the vets tomorrow at the first appt I can get them! But of anybody has any suggestions or advice now, I'd appreciate it. I feel like the worlds worst bunny slave ATM and that I've really let them down I adore these guys & I'd never forgive myself if anything happened to them, I've always done my best for them.
