My 3 year old bunny who had some weight loss followed by sharp deterioration in boarding. Basically halved his weight.
He went downhill further overnight, didn't urinate although continues to pass normal stools, hadn't touched his pellets although ate some carrot this morning, but completely off his legs. Now on a drip, having antibiotics, anti parasite meds and pain relief. Poor little mite. The Vet doesn't know what's wrong yet, nothing 'obvious'. He found some fly maggots when he took his rectal thermometer out but no obvious destruction to the skin and none elsewhere, thinks it's opportunistic rather than cause but can't rule out an internal infestation. He's going to be hydrated, and they will try their best. Bloods tomorrow if he survives the night. Please send him some get well vibes, his poor partner is not happy without him. If he doesn't improve I'll bring him home to pass away with his partner near
