Hi, I have a 5 year old dwarf lop who has previously had his front teeth removed due to over-growing and constant clipping (about a year and a half ago). He has seemed fine until yesterday, when I noticed he left some food in his bowl. Today when I checked on him and let him out, he just went out and lay down under a bush (doesn't sound alarming, but that's not usual behaviour for him). He won't eat anything I've offered him, including rabbit pellets, pansies, carrot, crackers, and baby food. He did eat one dandelion leaf earlier, but that's it for the whole day.
Concerned, I rushed him to the vet, who said he couldn't be sure what was wrong. He prodded him all over, and eventuall gave him 4 injections, including pain relief, something to get his gut stimulated, and 2 other things which he didn't really specify... He said to call tomorrow if he is still not eating.
Do I just wait it out? If he doesn't want to eat, should I "force" him to? Is there anything I can do?
