Something is going wrong

[KCG]

Hello to everyone,
I've been a little worried about Cookie for a few days, at first I tried to go with the flow and watch but I'm so confused.

Normally, I give cookie a slice of banana once a week, but on thursday I gave it a slice of banana again, but I gave it a bigger slice than usual. Thursday and friday everything was normal.
On saturday Cookie was a little quieter, sleeping more than usual. His belly seemed swollen, I wasn't sure if he gained weight or had gas, but his belly was soft and allowed me to touch it.
On sunday, he continued to sleep a lot, but his poops started to get smaller for the first time.
Small poops continued on monday, tuesday and wednesday, but the poop output was to muc in number. But day by day he began to eat less hay and drink water than usual. I haven't seen him drink much water since almost yesterday, he's definitely not drinking water like normal. (Also on monday his belly swollen passed and his belly looked normal). He also eats hay less than before and visits the litter tray less often.

Also, his sneezing and snoring has increased for a while, but since Cookie has chronic sneezing problems, I have a hard time understanding whether he has a respiratory infection or not. But he definitely snores more than usual.

He still has a good appetite, eagerly eating willow brach, pellets, vegetables and begging. He was flopping and laying easily, his belly was soft. But he doesn't have the joy he used to have, he doesn't zoom and binky. But cookie looks completely normal and comfortable, so it's hard to understand

I can't understand what the problem is, I'm very confused, I can't figüre out what's wrong with cookie, I'm thinking of going to urgent vet today.
I can't figure out if the problem is a respiratory infection, a gastric problem, or a kidney problem. There are too many possibilities in my head.

I don't think he's dehydrated either.

This is the dog pad from yesterday morning until night, he peed a lot and the color is normal







I changed the dog pad and hay at night, this is his pee he made from night until morning

The poops he made last night are the bigger ones, the poops I found from night to morning are the smaller ones

Looks as though he is exhibiting early signs of reduced gut motility and possibly some dehydration. A Vet check today is definitely needed.

I would want the Vet to not only check his abdomen but also his lungs and heart and bladder.

Also check that he doesn’t have any sign of spinal/hip pain

Sending vibes for him x

We just came home from the vet, the vet said everything was normal, it was probably just gas. They gave me medicine, but they said to wait and watch for 1-2 more days, if there is no positive development, then start taking medicine. 🩷

That must have put your mind at rest. Fingers crossed for your Cookie. x

 

[Pets mum]

That's good news then, hope Cookie is improving x

I'm glad the vet couldn't find anything serious. I hope he'll start eating more hay and drinking more water again soon. Sending him vibes.

I want to ask you a little question, Cookie drinks less water than normal, today he only drank water once in the morning(In the morning, he drank water nonstop for 3 minutes). But then he didn't drink any water again, so he actually drinks less water than normal. Do you think I should give him water with a syringe or just let it flow?
And why do you think he drinks less water, what are your thoughts?

I wouldnt syringe water at this stage. Just measure the amount he drinks over a 24 hr period for the next 3-4 days. Average water intake for a Rabbit is 50ml-100ml/kg/day. Rabbits will drink less if they eat a lot of fresh veg and grass. Monitor his wee output too.

It’s normal for water intake to vary. Some days we can feel more or less thirsty, it doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a problem.

Suddenly drinking lots of water every day does need investigation. Suddenly drinking nothing and not urinating also needs investigating by a Vet.
