Can Atticus have some vibes please?

He has had episodes that have taken several days to resolve, so try not to panic. Rich coming from me I know…..

Sending millions more vibes for him x
Yea he just looks worse than usual to me for some reason and his behaviour has changed recently. He also seems in a lot of pain :( x

No he can't have it :(

Prior to this episode, he's been trying to hump Clementine a lot, like ridiculous amounts even tho he can barely do it, and he's so unsteady on his back legs.. If it doesn't settle down I'll need to talk to William again :( Clementine is really upset about it too :(

Is he still having the steroids? If so just wondering it they are now effecting his adrenal glands causing a rise in cortisol secretion. Too high cortisol levels can cause lots of issues including muscle wastage/weakness and behavioural changes.

Yep still on them, yea I'm wondering about the adrenal glands thing. Muscle wastage and weakness he had already. But his behavior has definitely changed :(

So sorry Graciee, I really hope that he picks up soon, thinking of you and your boy and sending more vibes xxx
 
Graciee, if Atticus is having cortisol issues like Jane said, it might be worth asking your vet about lignans...that's what I'm going to give Jenna to bring down her cortisol. (Suspected atypical Cushings) Not sure if bunnies can have it but the flaxseed type is supposed to keep the gut healthy too.

Sending more healing vibes for dear Atticus. xxxxx
 
I'm sorry he is still so poorly with new worrying behavioural stuff. Topping up the vibes for everybun xx
 
Sending a lot more vibes for Atticus today. I'm really sorry he's not behaving like his usual self, and that all the humping is of course upsetting Clemetine, too. :(
 
Thanks everyone, still no real change :( bit of output but not what I'm expecting/hoping to see yet :( xx
