Need advice

Liam has not been himself for a couple of days, he isn't sitting out in the run in the evening like usual and just seems generally 'quiet'.

He is eating normally and i've just been out and given them pellets which he gobbled up like normal. He is poo'ing and wee'ing but the poos are much smaller than usual and he has wee'ed just outside of his litter tray tonight which is really unusual, he seems to be drinking a lot too.

His tummy feels fine so i thought maybe it could be his teeth, but surely he wouldn't be eating normally??

Can they get depressed?

Any advice would be much appreciated guys

hello - am not sure but hopefully someone in the know will be along soon. I do know though that some rabbits carry on eating despite teeth problems.

hmmmm, thats what i wanted to know really, wasn't sure if they would still be eating, not pellets and other hard stuff anyway . Liam is eating EVERYTHING he normally would so thats why i was a bit confused.

I didn't want to stress him by taking him to the vets if he was just feeling down (its quite a journey for him)

Thanks for replying

I've booked Liam in at the vets for 4.50 this af, poor lad isn't right at all

Urine infection maybe? Good luck at the vets.

Thanks jay, i appreciate the vibes very much xx

Just thought i would update, Liam is going in tomorrow for a dental, he also has an ulcer in his mouth too which explains him being so down

Mishka is going along for the ride to keep her husbun company :luv:

Rebecca basically said that its his mouth causing the upset and all the other unusual things like wee'ing out of the tray and drinking lots are knock on effects, she also said that he has reduced gut mobility and gave him an injection to 'keep his guts moving and relieve any pain he may have', i can't remember what she called it though

OMG, i've just been thinking.....it was probably a gut stimulant she gave him??

D'oh, its been a long day and my heads a shed tonite

Will i need to bring Liam in the house tomorrow night?

I probably would if you can - especially if its still so cold. Bunnies find it harder to keep themselves warm when poorly, and after a GA. Good luck for Liam's dental.

Thanks Laura, i'll try and sort that

Just waiting for the phonecall to tell me he is o.k now

Liam is ok

The dental went well and he has come around from the GA well too, just got to go pick em up after 4 :luv:

I am sooooo relieved

horay! great news!

Yay, glad all went well. Give him a gentle snuggle from me.

Glad that it's over now and Liam is feeling better. Good thing you noticed him not feeling well.

Thanks guys

They are home, yay!!

Liam is a little quiet but he has eaten and pooped

I will pass on the snuggle Laura, thankyou :luv:

Oh that's great news Cuddle from Bertie n me too :luv:

CAn't believe I missed this. So sorry Jo x Gald Liam is on the mend.

Awww, thanks Jay and Char :luv:

Liam is doing really well, bless him. Just got to take him for his followup this afternoon
