Jeeves not eating :( UD 'Thurs AM'

He's refusing pellets, carrot, corriander, dill and fenugreek Crunchies.
His tummy isn't hard and he is moving to get away from us when we offer him food.

Oh no Jeeves! This is exactly what Joey was doing the other day. Does he look in any discomfort or feel bloated?

His tummy feels quite soft, I don't Think he's bloated but then again I don't know what bloated feels like.
He keeps flopping out, it's so hard to tell with him because he's such a chilled out nonchalant bunny anyway.

I've got him in at the vets at 12 since they close at 12.30 and what with the long weekend I can't risk it.
Any medication I should keep an eye out for? Can't remember the name of the gut motility drug, metaclopramide?

I'd perhaps describe how it feels as a bit doughy. Good idea to get him before they shut, otherwise it makes things a lot harder doesn't it!

Metaclopromide is one of the motility drugs and you want them to give him a decent dose of painkiller (Joey had Metacam).

Sending vibes, I hope it goes ok

Oh no, Jeeves!! You need to nom up!!!

Hope it goes ok at the vet, let us know x

Get well soon Jeeves

Hope it goes ok at the vet

xx

Any news?

Just had chance to sit down with my computer. We've been back for about forty five minutes maybe a bit more.

We saw a brilliant vet, she was different to who we saw last week and different to our usual.
She had a good look in his mouth and said there were some small spurs there but they hadn't done any damage yet and they weren't too much to worry about (strange since the vet last week said there were none).
He's also lost a little bit of weight, he was 2.45 last week I think and he's now 2.33
She felt his tummy and said he was dilated and had some gas but on the plus side she could hear some gurgling so he still had some motility and she could feel some poos waiting to come out.

He had metacam and emeprid injections and I have been sent home with baytril and zantac to give twice a day.
Half an hour after his injections (15 min drive home and 15 sitting in carrier at home while we cleaned up) he ate a couple of pellets we offered him, some hay and some grass

The vet said if he crashes again tomorrow after the metacam has worn off then it's possible to put it down to his teeth and to call and she will give him another dose of metacam.

He has had his baytril (which he hated!!) and I am now going to go out an give him his zantac.

He was adorable in the vets, he isn't normally very affectionate towards me, he's too cool But he snuggled right into my arm hiding his head and also hid inside my coat

I will probably ring her tomorrow to update her and ask how long to give the baytril and zantac for as I don't think that was covered.

So glad he's doing ok, I've been checking for updates.

It's lovely when they want you at the vet isn't it

Hope he takes the rest of his medicine ok!

Just saw this. Just woke up I slept in today. It's 8am here.
Jeeves, precious one, please get better and nom nom.
Sending special vibes for your tummy and the rest of you to
get better and for those teeth spurs to go away. So please
get well fast! A nose touch for you handsome and a
for your mommy!

Hope little Jeeves will be ok. I feel for you, maybe Jeeves thought he'd copy Joey!

to you both.

He's putting up a bit of a fight at the moment. Keeps hiding when we try and pick him up, he was syringed all last week too so he must be sick of it. He seems to have eaten us out of the herbs we tried to tempt him out with so all we can do is wait.

I must say I'm much calmer this time around which is a pleasant surprise!

I'm glad the meds seem to be working

Come on Jeeves, nom nom nom

I would point out that some of the members here have experienced that even the smallest tooth spur can put their buns off their food - it might be worth getting that looked into a bit further

I'll certainly mention it The vet did point it out to me as well so that's promising that she knows what she's talking about.

Just caught him to give him his zantac and he did some poos! Some are very very very golden! And some quite dark.
Tigger had very few misshapen ones but then she started doing normal, I think it was the stress of the journey.

Jeeves must have copied Joey! Not the best ideas you've ever had you pair.

Thanks for all the thoughts and vibes!!

Boys it really wasn't a good idea!

Hope he continues to perk up and you can get his meds down ok!

Hi hoppers, here I am munching some hay, I'm feeling a bit better and I even have a get well card!

Tigger looks a bit put-out by the bun in the nurses uniform on the card

I wondered the same thing

My nan went shopping and brought it home for me to give to him
So it's signed from mummy daddy nanny and Tigger who isn't impressed and wishes she had a choice in what card was bought!

He really hasn't been right recently bless him all last year he was perfect!

It's fab!! So apt Your Nan has good taste in cards!!!

Tigger doesn't look impressed by it, bless her!

Aww! That was so sweet of her!

It was! She loves that pair. My mum is exactly the same! Last week when Jeeves was ill she found me some pj's in matalan with a bunny on
