Pasteurella usually involves antibiotics….
Are you able to get to the other vets office or atleast get your vet to contact them and try the antibiotics they recommend ASAP ?

Are there any other vets in your area you could also call ? I would be seeking treatment as fast as possible. I understand how hard and frustrating this must be for you too.

It sounds like the second vet you saw recommended you go to another clinic where they are better equipped-have you been already or when is your next appointment?
I honestly couldn’t recommend anything aside from force feeding until you get to the other clinic for a proper diagnosis.

I do not have anything to add other than I hope things improve quickly. You must be so worried. Wishing you both strength. Please post updates.

It looks like the vet did prescribe an antibiotic. I’m a little confused how a vet could give a diagnosis of pasteurella, cancer, or kidney failure. I mean, how does one come up with such a vague diagnosis? Obviously the vet doesn’t know much about rabbits and they probably are not equipped to make a proper diagnosis. Is the vet they referred you to rabbit-savvy? I know you said they were quite a distance away from you, but it would probably be worth it to make the trip.

Yes, get another appointment with a vet who will do some diagnostic testing like bloodwork to start out with. That diagnosis does not make any sense at all to me either. It’s really not a diagnosis at all in my opinion.

Can you beg or borrow the money.?.. I know it is hard but could make such a difference getting the right vet to do an exam and diagnosis.

My tip on force feeding water is to put him on your lap, then try to put the syringe from the side of his mouth rather that the front.

Please try to go to the rabbit savvy vet asap. Rabbits won’t get better on their own and it doesn’t sound like he’s had proper diagnosis from the first two vets. Being prey animals, they are also good at hiding sickness so by the time we notice it, it is usually at the critical stage.

In the meantime, keep up the fluids and critical care to maintain the calories intake and just give him whatever veg he wants to eat to prevent him from getting a GI stasis.

MP, that needs a vet… Please get Toby to the vet ASAP…

. How is Toby today? Is the lump any smaller? Is he eating?

I think if you can get him in Thursday that would be better than nothing.

Sending vibes for wee Toby. ((((((((((((Healing vibes))))))))))))))
Maybe be sure that lump wasn’t a spider bite. Was it warm to the touch at all?

Sending {{{vibes}}} also. If you were given antibiotics and metacam, please keep these going in the meantime.

Hopefully if you can go forward with treatment, they can give subcutaneous fluids to keep him hydrated.

At home, does he use a bottle or bowl. Try offer both and if he’s used to a bottle, check its operating properly or if the position of it still suits him.

Good luck!
ETA: I saw a picture of Toby at vets (?) via the links in your profile. Is he doing ok?

I don’t think she remembered to come over here and update you all. I will go ask if she can give you guys an update. He did spend the night that night at the vet, but is now at home.

Oh dear, I am sorry to hear this about Toby. If he has E.Cuniculi then this is what has caused his head tilt. Mimzy went thru this a year and a half ago and a few other members here have now dealt with this as well.
I just want to say Toby can be brought thru this. The rolling stage is the worst but if you can keep him eating and eliminating he can recover. What kind of meds has your vet given you for him? Do you have anything like a lidless storage tub you can line with towels to keep him from rolling too much in? Are you able to give sub q fluids yourself or do you have your vet do it?
If you have any questions please message me. I’ve been thru this and would be glad to help or just listen when things get heavy.
I will keep you both in my prayers. This will be difficult and take time. But it can be beaten.
