Help! Butterscotch is my 3 month old bun who was fixed two days ago. After surgery, he was lethargic and would not eat it drink. He went back to the vet yesterday to be fed with Oxbow critical care formula. He started having seizures, and had boos work which showed he was really dehydrated resulting in kidney failure, and some abnormal liver enzymes. He is going yo be treated for E. canaliculi (sp?)- medivine striving tomorriw. he us also on a sulfa drug fir ? coccidium?. He came home last night, and had 10-12 seizures in 3-4 hours. He was really agitated in between, walking back and forth in his cage, and GE kept bumping into the cage- like he could not judge the distance properly. I fed him overnight with the Oxbow for mails and Gatorade by syringe. He kept trying to poop- but nothing would come out. Overnight he settled down, took his feed, and by morning had lots if poops in his cage. He was kind of stunned all day- just sitting in his cage, not really responding to much. When I took him out to feed him, he took the feed and even a piece if apple and carrot. He was still pretty motionless in between feelings and has not touched his hay, pellets, or the water in his cage. He had two seizures tonight that I saw. My vet says this is really uncommon in rabbits, and though he is the rabbit expert here, he has never really dealt with this in a bun before.he has contacted other vets with bunny know how as well- but there aren’t really any other things to do. He told me that if Butterscotch dies not improve once he has finished the 5 day treatment for EC, his prognosis is poor, and he may not recover. I am pretty upset, as there is no way to really know what is wrong with him, or if we are missing something. Has anybody had any experiences like this? Any suggestions? Butterscotch was perfectly healthy prior to surgery, other than being stressed out when Tofu ( his brother), tried to mount him. They were separated as soon as I noticed this… So it was not a longstanding stressor. Can anybody help?
