I've posted before about Buzz being on the thin side, but when I gave him his pellets today I was actually "jabbed" by the bones in his spine protruding. I felt his tummy and it feels quite normal, but his joints are sticking out a lot.
I've been giving him porridge and two handfuls of pellets a day. He gets veg in the evening (cabbage, leafy greens, carrot, basil, parsley) and I have to hand feed him hay when I'm with him (as he won't naturally eat it.) I've tried all types of hay to get him to eat it, but he doesn't really want it and will only eat it as part of a game if I'm holding it in front of his face and he's nibbling it.
I took him to the vet and she said yes he is thin but she can see nothing wrong with him. She said she couldn't see any tooth probs but couldn't account for the molars. As he had his neuter about two months ago, she said she doesn't want to put him through another GA until 6 months time.
Like I've said before, he was on a bad diet before he came to me and had been on guinea pig food from 0-6 months of his life when I fostered him.
He ways about 1.7kg, but he's a BIG boned, bunny so he should be filling out more than he is. As you can see he's got a big head, and I'd expect his body to be in proportion to it.
His appetite is very normal and he's always hungry. It just doesn't seem to go anywhere :?
This is him a couple of months ago. He has become thinner since:
