Hello! I recently took my rabbit to the vet because he was having tummy issues - not eating anything, wet poops, and he had runny eyes with puss.
We got him on meds, eye cream and he was doing well until he stopped eating his hay all together. So we took him back to the vet.
His teeth have grown in badly with points so it’s painful to eat his hay.
I cannot afford to get his dental work done for a couple months… I am currently out of a job.
However, he is addicted to the critical care food we’ve been giving him the last 3 or so weeks. But I really want him to try to eat some hay.
Does anyone have any suggestions? We are going to the pet store today to get some softer/sweeter hay to try to hold him over. But I am at a loss here because he isn’t gaining the weight he needs to after the first trip to the vet.
For reference, Bean is about 10-11 years old and is a dwarf/mini Rex. He’s about 3 lbs and needs to gain a couple.
Other than not eating his hay, he very much seems like a mostly happy bunny, calm but also playful, shows no other signs of pain, and his eyes have cleared up.
Thank you for any advice you can give <3
