It sounds like he may be acting so aggressive because he is in alot of pain! I would continue to hand feed him and try to get some water down after the mush.
i would also try another vet if that one didnt listen to your concerns about his teeth, if there are any others in your area.
The most scared i’ve ever been for a bunny was when my first bunny, who recently crossed the rainbow bridge , was acting a bit odd and holding his ear funny.
When i took him to the vet that day, he was diagnosed with ear mites, which did not seem correct to me for more than one reason.
Two days later, he was miserable… lethargic and not eating or pooping… it was miserable for both of us. Like you, i could not get him in with a vet that night, so we had to waot until morning. I stayed up with him and snuggled, which he needed so badly.
We made it through that awful night, and the next day we were given 3 different prescrptions along with critical care food mush. He was so good about taking his medicine!
Three days later, he was eating and pooping on his own. The life had returned to his eyes, and he was able to resist his medicine so much that i had to have friends help me administer it.
Give him plenty of love tonight, no matter what youll be glad you did!

P.s. if your having trouble feeding him, try adding just a little fresh squeezed orange juice or mashed banana to his food, assuming he is fruit tolerant and nondiabetic

I too would think it is pain. It could be gas pain. If you have any simethicone (baby gas drops) you can give him that. Do a tummy rub to help the gas come out. Here’s good info on how to do it, scroll down to Mechanical treatments: http://www.bio.miami.edu/hare/ileus.html

I’d call the E vet you saw and describe what you’re seeing.

Is his breathing still laboured?

Has he had the meds he was given before?

Give some gentle tummy massage if he’ll tolerate it. However, if his tum feels distended and really tight, don’t massage and get him back to the E vet ASAP.

I hope he’s doing better.

Yes of course,Jersey is very right! What I wrote was just tips on sth you could perhaps do while waiting for your vet to open. You should of course contact them asap.

Sorry bam. I hadn’t meant to contradict your advice.

I agree that a massage would definitely help if he has gas pain. The buns let us know when massage is helping. It’s bout the only time they’ll let us touch their belly. :p

I’m so sorry Michaela.

You took him to the vet and got him meds, that’s all a person can do, it’s nobody’s fault that it didn’t help. Sadly enough, these things do happen.

Binky free Buddle.

I’m so very sorry.
I can see that he was loved a lot.

Binky Free Buddle!

I’m so sorry! Its so hard losing a bunny. But remember that you did all you could, and he knew that you loved him and your being there for him probably meant lot to him.

I am so, so sorry for your loss I can sympathize as I just lost my dwarf one week ago. In what sounds like, a pretty similar manner as yours. It’s so awful to see them suffer and in pain. As bunny parents, we just want the absolute best for our furry kiddos. You did the best you knew how and loved little Buddle till the end and that’s all that matters. HUGS!!

I am so sorry for your loss- You did everything you could and he choose to cross the rainbow bridge at home, peacefully with his loving parents next to his side! That is such a blessing he gave you.
I know its probably hard to understand that right now and you wished he didn’t have to pass but he knew that it was time and wanted you there.

I hope your heart heals xoxoxo

Hi Michaela. I think the similar part was the behavior you described. Bella was acting very strangely and had a weepy eye as well. However she had really quick breathing for around a day and I could tell she was uncomfortable, I just didn’t know where. And that was the most heartbreaking part, watching her decline and not being able to help her in any way. There’s no way of knowing what happened to her, she was an older bun so it may have also just been her time to go. I’m trying not to beat myself up over it. I’m glad she passed on here at home with me rather than at the vets or something. I’m still so devastated and I know I won’t ever fill that hole in my heart that she filled. Hope things are getting better for you on this journey of grieving.
