LeahandOreo
New Kit
Hi, a few weeks ago I noticed my rabbit Oreo was acting strange. He was wobbly and was eating less hay. He then got nasal and eye discharge so I took him to the vet. They gave him antibiotics for the discharge but didn't think to much of the wobbliness. A few days later the cold went down, but Oreo decided to jump out of his litter box and fell onto his back and couldn't get up. It was very distressing for both me and him. I enclosed him into a cage to avoid him hurting himself again and he was sat there hunched over. We took him to the vets again and while we were in the waiting room Oreo moved in his crate but then fell over again and couldn't get back up so I had to help him back up. The vet was worried about his teeth as they were growing very long as he wasn't eating much (at the time he was on a recovery food) and he wasn't sure what was causing him to fall over. The vet was also worried about the amount of weight he was losing even though I was force feeding him more than he would normally eat. A couple of days later we went back to the vet only for him to be taken in overnight to be put on a drip as he was so weak. He had an operation yesterday to file his teeth down which went well but is now not eating so the nurse out of the kindness of her heart took him home over this weekend to keep him on the drip. He has been away at the vets for a week now and they keep saying how he is not building up his strength. I might be able to pick him up on Monday but I don't know what to do. If he is not getting any better how can I keep him alive if I know he is constantly suffering. I am so upset he has only just turned 4 and I feel like he is too young to go. I feel like it is too early. I just want to know what is causing him to fall over. They gave him ear medicine and took x-rays but it showed nothing and he is not getting better. What should I do?
