It’s like rabbits decide to only ever get unwell when the vets are closed
Today when I went to give the buns their nighttime pellets (at 12.30) yumi sprinted over like normal, but Peep didn’t. He was sitting in the corner in a hunched position looking unhappy.
I offered him treats, and he refused them.
I felt his belly, it was very doughy and disdended. He couldn’t get comfy, constantly readjusting and generally aggitated.
He allowed me to give him belly rubs, I syringed baby gas drops.
I waited to see if any interest in food came back, and when it didn’t I syringed fluids, and critical care.
After 3 hours he pooped and started eating, climbing on me and generally just acting completely fine. (Even tooth purring , which leads me to think his previous discomfort must be past)
It’s 4am here now and I’m thinking I’ll go to sleep until 7 am and then check how he is doing.
If he’s still acting fine in the morning should I still take him to the vet? My concern first and foremost is how much he hates being interfered with, which could make him sick again, what with stress, and secondly I don’t actually have the money (of course I can still get it together to get him treated if he’s not well in the morning) but I know some of these cases can be monitored from home.
I’m sorry if this doesn’t make sense, I’m very tired and my brain is barely functional
