Can anyone offer some advice with Rusty my house bunny please?

He is off his food... he is drinking, he ate some hay this morning and he ate a treat carrot cruncher this morning but is not eating his pellets or veg....

Other than this he seems ok, maybe a little lethargic to normal..

I have just booked him into the vets Monday for his Mixy injection and to trim his nails, so I can ask then but just wondered if anyone could suggest something.... He is 1 year old and I have had him 9 months.

Thanks folks...x

whats his poos like?

As asked above what are is poo's like? Is he sitting hunched or ginding his teeth?

Hi guys,

his poos are really small now, and he has been a little hunched although just now was layed sprawled out... I did notice a couple of teeth grinds yesterday but not since.. he just ate a couple of dandelions but nothing much... his eyes are bright.

it could be the start of gut stasis, i would get him to a vet hun

sitting hunched and teeth grinding is a sign of pain

mmmm, its odd.... hes been playing just now, bouncing around the lounge and is stretched out again looking chilled... I shall keep close watch on him.. x

are his poos looking any better?

I would still take him to the vets, he could be in the early stages of stasis, I know with cases I have had to deal with for the first day or 2 they can still have times when they look fairly normal but they go down so quickly

to Lil Miss, they are a little larger than before.... he has eaten some straw I offered him, (thought that that is more fibrous than hay...) and been quite bright.... he has been nudging me to stroke his head over and over...and he isn't grinding his teeth.

To Bernie, (dont know how to do this quote thing sorry...) I will take him Monday as he is booked in for his injection and query how he is...

Thank you for your help...xx

So long as he keeps eating hay, drinking and pooing then Monday should be ok, you could try mushing up some of his pellets to see if he is interested or maybe some vegetable baby food. If he stops pooing or looks in pain I would call your vet for advise
