Not moving... HELP!

[coko]

My bunny Peppermint isnt moving from under the hutch please help... Im SO worried!

 

[ripminnie]

How long has he/she been under there?

 

[coko]

How long has he/she been under there?

15 minutes...

 

[ripminnie]

That's not long! Maybe he's asleep! :wave:

 

[ripminnie]

Is he breathing, have you touched him?

 

[coko]

That's not long! Maybe he's asleep! :wave:

But he has been acting strangly for the last few days...

 

[bunny babe]

Will he come out if you shake his food. Try to chase him out to get an idea if he is OK or it is just heat related.
Will he eat and has he pooped?

If he is not himself within half an hour then I would take him to the emergency vet.

ETA - how has he been acting strangely

 

[ripminnie]

Strange in what way? Has he been eating? Have you checked his bum lately to check it's clean? :wave:

None of the first ideas. He has eaten a bit but not much. Ok. About 4 days I just thought it was the heat at first...

How is he acting ?

His bum is clean.

Then get out there and get the bunny OUT from under the hutch.

And

straight off to the VETS

 

[OwnedByRabbits]

Has he pooped, i would phone up your emergency vets asap

 

[ripminnie]

He definitely needs to see a vet tonight if he's not eaten much for 4 days, its very important that a rabbit eats regularly as they can deteriorate very quickly otherwise. If he is now not moving aswell, he is probably in pain and needs some pain relief. X

 

[biscandmatt1]

is there someone who can help you tilt the hutch maybe so you can reach?

 

[coko]

My Dad will be back soon so I can ask him

 

[Fee]

Not wanting to worry you but as folk have said, its Imperative you get him to a VETS asap.... My bunny died within a couple of days. I wasnt aware at the time he wasnt well until he simply collapsed..

Dont leave it too long ...please....

Good luck
Fee.

He might be dehydrated and starving as well as suffering from heatstroke. He really needs your help. You must take him to the vet. If he is dehydrated and it sounds like it he will need subcutaneous fluids and round the clock care to get him back on his feet. I'm sending vibes for him and let us know how you get on at the vet please.

 

[mini lop1]

can you stick anything under the hutch to try and get him out, ie the end of a brush broom? if his eating has decreased his guts may well be slowing down and they need to keep moving ie through eating so would need to see a vet, if he is breathing faster and you suspect its the heat maybe worth putting a wet cloth over his back to try and help him feel alittle cooler

 

[biscandmatt1]

just thought - do you have some bricks? could you lift the front of the hutch onto the bricks and squeeze your arms under, see if you can reach?
