Thanks all, he's on baytril and metacam, he has pooed during the night and today and he is drinking water and eaten some mashed banana and readigrass. I was very slow and careful with the rescue formula and will ask the vet re meds you mentioned when we go tomorrow x

Baytril and Metacam sounds good Glad to hear he's eating and doing the other normal things

Just a thought - you could think about giving some echinacea to boost his immune system? "Natural" remedies aren't always popular here, so if you're interested just drop me a PM for dosage etc etc .. x

I hope that your Bun is doing a bit better today and that he gets on OK at the Vets. It's a positive that he has some output and that he has eaten a little for himself x

I hope your bunny gets better soon. Cant really advise because ive never experienced this problem, but ive got a few snuffle buns and when i feel wet noses or hear a sneeze i start up echinacea and it stops it developing into something serious. Maybe ask your vet about this, my vet said it was beneficial but i know people differ.

It's proven to be beneficial for humans in clinical trials, but I know some vets are wary of 'alternatives' ..

My specialists recommended Echinacea to me when my rabbit was on lots of different medicine to give her a boost. It certainly won't do any harm. She wasn't that keen on it though

Yes I know what you mean .. When I break the capsules open to make a tea for myself .. not too great

But I can sprinkle it onto the buns food and they gobble it up without seeming to notice
