No poop just mucus and what looks like blood from anus

In my experience a low temperature can be a sign of a rabbit going into shock. This can happen when they have a blockage, but it can also mean other things. I am glad he's being looked after - he's in the right place and they will be able to nurture him and give him everything he needs.

Sending vibes for Milo and hugs for you xx

This was why I stressed that the vet should take his temperature. I am so glad you took him in xx

Me too thank you for all your help. I'm going to read through the info you sent.
Temperature isn't something I've had a problem with before so this is all new to us. Hope he enjoys his bunny spa day and gets all toasty and then decides to snack and poop for us
 
Sending lots of vibes for Milo and hugs for you.
Keeping you in our thoughts and hoping the vets can get it all figuared out and help
 
Thank you for all your good vibes everyone. Milos friends are NOT happy with me. They are very cautious and are quiet but they had been leaving him alone and avoiding him so I didn't want to stress them out taking then with

Only just caught up with this. I do hope that Milo will start to improve now that he is receiving Intensive Care. Will the Vet call you with an update later this evening ?

I think that was very wise given the circumstances.

I really hope you get another update from the vet very soon.

No update from the vet yet I've called and left a message they have a vet on site 24/7 so they said I can check in as many times as I like and to call and leave a message and they would call back

I would leave it a reasonable length of time and then call back as another prod.

Just called the vets again. Milo is out of the incubator as he can now manage his body temperature and it's back to where it should be. They've given him meds and force fed him food and are hoping that by morning he should have pooed and be eating some bits himself. Fingers crossed
