Thank you for enquiring Jane.
We continued with critical care until about midnight. The vet said if he was eating on his own not to do the 2 hourlies through the night. He also ate some Rabbit Royale with Nancy at usual supper time.
He's had his medicine this morning and some more cc but also ate some breakfast with Nancy.
He's currently sitting in his chill n snooze basket absolutely ripping at it.
They usually have some fresh greens about now so hope he will eat some.

I'm glad Will seems to be feeling a bit better and I hope his improvement continues :thumb:
Good luck with it all xx

Will seems to be back to his old self. Fighting against his medicine, begging for treats and being totally uncooperative with critical care. I assume because he is eating this isn't too crucial but I did smear some on his paws which he had to lick off.
He has a follow up appointment in the morning so hope his gut sounds normal and he's put a bit of weight back on.

So pleased to hear that Will is feeling a lot better
How's his 'output' ?
He didn't poop at all at the vets but did as soon as he got home. There were a few misshapen ones and lots of furry ones and 'string of pearls' but now they seem back to normal. I have also observed him eating caecals (sorry can't spell ).
We are currently in the garden. He's not as active as usual but is eating grass and I gave him a few extra pellets before Nancy came out which he ate.
Great to hear Will is home now.

Will had his check up this morning. The vet was pleased with him. She said he was like a different rabbit. He was the same weight as Friday so I'm wondering if he's just lost weight as I've cut down on treats and commercial food. I just hope Nancy has too. She did say his gut sounds, although much better than Friday, were still slightly on the quiet side but then said it was probably because he was a small rabbit. Not that I have any reason to doubt her but can anyone far more knowledgeable than me back this up?
She said they took some pictures of him when he was being syringe fed on Friday and asked if they could use the pictures on their website and Facebook page to promote rabbit awareness week and the importance of getting your rabbit treated immediately if he/she stopped eating as so often it was left too late. - naturally I said yes.
When I got out the vets I'd had a missed call from my mum. My dad's in hospital again. Oh's mum was taken in yesterday. I really can't wait for April to end.

It is nice to hear that Will has improved so much under your wonderful care. His gut sounds may be the normal for him, or normal for him if he is moulting and passing fur. However, I would keep a close eye on his output and possibly ask the vet about putting him on a maintenance dose of gut stimulant until he is done with the furry/strung together poop and/or make sure he has extra fluids/moisture in his food so it is easier for him to pass the fur he injests when he grooms himself or Nancy.
