Vet Update:

Rusty is still off his food, only barely nibbling a little hay/greens..

The vet stalled giving him is Mixy innoculation and instead gave him an antibiotic injection fearing an infection in his gut due to stress (!) possibly caused by the change in weather even... I have to let him know how he is in 3 days.

He has nibbled only a couple of dandelions and a little tiny bit of hay. He passed a massive poo earlier tonight after the vet visit.. !

The vet weighed him and is happy he is ok, 2.12 kg, and his teeth and nails are fine. He felt his tummy and said it didnt feel like a blockage.

I am keeping a close eye on him....

Hope he's on the mend soon

It's good that the vet held off on his myxi jab, but did he give any gut stimulant, pain relief and recovery food?

Hi guys,
Thanks.
The vet said he'd give a gut stimulant if he's not improved by Wednesday/Thursday.. He didn't think he was in pain and didn't offer anything food wise.

I've fed him some hay by hand tonight. He's really wanting cuddles tonight.

I would get hold of some Fibreplex to give him Fibreplex for Rabbits and Small Rodents - £6.18 in the mean time, it helps to keep the gut working properly. I swear by it
