Ive has a bit of a nightmare few weeks!
My 2 year old mini lop lost a nail 3 weeks ago, after a rush t the vet all was fine utill the following week when he flinched on getting his face rubbed. Another rushed visit to the vet they told me it wasan ear infection in both ears and gave me a weeks worth of ear drops. Munchie hated getting these drops and barely came out his house for the whole week.
Back to the vet to get him checked out on the day the drops were due to finish and all was fine. Commented to the vet about him not wanting to come out his house - this is not like him, he is normally very active and sooky.
I noticed that night that he was off his food, still drinking and peeing at that point. Gave him fresh food the next morning and it was barely touched on that evening. Noticed he had pooed less but had still being peeing. Still wasnt himself and wouldnt come out for cuddles.
The next morning I gave him fresh food again and it hadnt been touched when I came home from work and he looked really down so another visit to the vet.
The vet said his teeth looked fine, his tummy was ok as well. She gave him 2 injections - one was an antibiotic and one was to make him hungry. She said to try and get him to eat anything and let him have what he would eat. That was friday and Ive to take him back on monday.
On Friday he stopped drinking water completely no peeing or pooing at all! He managed to eat a tiny bit of carrort and half a lettice leaf.
Saturday I was getting realy worried so got him loads of different things to see if he would eat something and got a smaller water bottle from the pet shop so I could keep a closer eye on what he was drinking.
Phoned the vet again on sat as he still wasnt keen on eating anyhing and she told me to try him with probiotic yoghurt and syringe feed him water and still bring him to her on monday. I ended up having to syringe feed him the yoghurt and hes now drinking small quantities of water out a bowl. He ate some spinach yesterday afternoon and a tiny bit of brocolli, still no pellets.
Last night I had read on line about trying to massage his tummy which I attempted and within an hour he had done a rather large pee.
Through last night he has pooed but not sure if it was a runny poo or soft poo which he has then stood on.
I have not heard him grinding his teath and havent heard any strange noises coming from his tummy - really dont know whats wrong with him and I feel the ve doesnt have a lue either
They are good vets and came highly recommended.
Dont know what to do and Im so worried about him
