He looks so bad :/ but still running over to me for food, although Clementine did knock him over also running for food :(

But he took it then I saw him try to pee and just drips :/ so maybe sludge/stone/uti or something, will call tomorrow morning for emergency appointment hopefully. He's on pain killers anyway. I feel so bad for him :/

Poor Sausage. I hope you can get him seen tom. What a bunny eh - he's still running for food :love: I can't imagine being crashed to the ground by Clem is a gentle experience. Loads of vibes. I just been twittering about Atticus in the gardening thread
 
Very sorry to hear this :cry: Has he passed wee normally today til now ? You just need to be sure his urethra isn’t obstructed by thick sludge/a stone. He would need to be seen tonight if that were to be a possibility

Sending lots of vibes x

How would I know? Idk where I could even take him that would know either tbh, unless I drive to Camden if they're there. I'm really unwell myself atm, but Michael could drive him there no problem. I'll check their website x

Where he wees (litter tray) would be drier than usual. You can feel a very full bladder by very gently palpating his abdomen. It will feel like a large lemon sized bulge in the lower abdomen, between his hind legs.
 
Sorry I haven't updated been mad here tbh.

Bladder is fine, but he's really dehydrated, megacolon episode in full swing, no William this week but have seen another exotic vet and she seems really good tbh.

We've got more painkillers and fluids to do under skin. So it's just seeing if he'll improve this time tbh. Weight is 1.7kg :(

Thanks everyone for vibes xx

Do you 60ml of fluids given by sq, is a bit much? Twice a day.. I normally do like 10 - 15ml every few hours [emoji51]

I suspect it's possibly because he is very dehydrated. How does the overall quantity vary from what you usually give, ie how many 10-15ml do you give in a 24 hour period?

24 hours /4 hours is 6... X 10ml so 60ml is on the lower end of usual.. Just seems a lot in one go to me! [emoji38]

I can't see it would make much difference in how you split up the doses. Perhaps divide the 60ml in half and give 30ml x 4 in 24 hours? Not everyone would want to be bothered by giving a small amount every couple of hours.
