Olly was very poorly for a couple of days, today he was screaming in pain and not eating, he could hardly move, he had an appointment for 5:00pm, I contacted the emergency vet, they said to bring him straight away, I took the top off his cage and managed to pick him up, I was surprised, I put him in his basket but he came out again and went back to his cage, I picked him up again and had no problems with him, the vet came quickly, he said Olly has tummy problems, I left the room whilst he gave him some injections, because if Olly screamed because of the needles it would upset me, the vet was very good with Olly, I heard him say. “That is a good boy Olly, now the next one.” I heard Olly scream but I tried not to let it bother me and thought about all the Thank you cards on the room and in reception, so I knew he was in good hands, the vet called me back in and said he had been a very good boy, then showed me how to give Olly his medicine, then we had to wait for a taxi, when we got back I noticed Olly was eating hay inside his basket, so I left him knowing he needed this and cleaned his cage, he went back in his cage ate a few pellets then kissed me lots of times, he wasn’t happy when he saw the medicine box, he just backed up, I tried to give it him but he wasn’t having it, I tried to put it on his lips with my finger, nope, I gave him a piece of Parsley and put his medicine in a piece of Curly Kale and he ate it, he has eaten some hay and been to his litter tray.
If your bunny is not eating please like Binky says If your rabbit hasn’t eaten or pooped in 12-24 hours, call a vet immediately! Please please do this, the vet said that if I had waited for the appointment at 5:00pm Olly could have died, it has cost me a lot of money, but he is slowly getting better, I called the vets and said I couldn’t thank them enough, we will be sending a thank you letter. (In Olly’s words)
I’m so happy he came home with me and didn’t have to stay

Hi Bam its Olly, I have eaten more hay and used my tray and done a big tinkle, mummy said the tinkle was smelly but said it could have been my injections, she said we might need a tractor to move all this poop, I did a tiny poop the other day and mummy said to do some more, I had a poop accident but mummy said it was ok I didn’t use my tray, she was surprised when I did the big poop, I played a trick on mummy, I covered it up, I have done lots of binkies, I have been periscoping, kissing mummy and nudging her to get her attention so she will watch me run and do binkies
