Concern about EVO

B

We noticed ealier that Evo seemed to be leaning his head to the right and is also wobbly on his feet, and more subdued than usual - not interested in his treats etc. His ears and bottom are fine, but he wont let us look at his teeth. We managed to see the front ones and they look the same as usual, no overhanging. He seems to be a bit grumbly when handled too, possibly with his breathing but seems more of a grumble than difficulty breathing.

What to check/do ?
 
Hey, I think you'd be best moving this into Rabbit Care :) Maybe get a better response there. Sorry to hear Evo isnt doing so well, If he sounds like hes struggling to breathe/grumbly when you handle him, I think i'd leave him be as much as possible. Also, is he eating anything at all? Drinking? Poo'ing? If not, you're going to have to syringe feed him :( Thats all the advice I can offer I'm afraid, i'd definately pop this somewhere else if your still online, otherwise, i'll be very interfering, and move it myself (sorry!) Please keep us updated Xx
 
This just occured to me, and I had reported the post to a moderator to see if they could move it for me!
Ill reply to the questions in the other topic!
 
Is he eating? I'd be tempted to call the vet now and have a chat. A head tilt and wooblyness could be early signs of an inner ear infection. If that's the case prompt treatment can really help.

Also clean his tray so you can monitor poop and check how much food he has so you can monitor eating.

He's with a friend though Tam, so still quite tough to check whats going in & coming out :? I think I too would just call the vet & see what s/he says Xx
