Oh my goodness, is your vet rabbit savvy? Did they prescribe any treatments? Did they have any ideas of why he was off his hay?

Since it has been a while of him not eating hay and he hasn’t eaten today, he should be seen as soon as possible. I would really push your vet to see him first thing in the morning, as it any rapid change in a bunny (coupled with not eating for more than 12 hours) gets into emergency territory. I understand not having ER vets that see bunnies (I’m in that boat too), it sucks. You might still call some ER vets and see if they would at least give fluids and pain meds, which can stabilize a sick bunny.

It could be a couple of things…. the decline with not eating hay could indicate a dental issue, that maybe led to stasis/gas, but it’s hard to know. Sometimes GI issues start with not wanting hay. Have there been any changes in his diet?

Super mushy poop is better than no poop. That makes me think he could have coccidia, which is a parasitic infection.

Right now, you can give him tummy rubs ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbyC6CWbm5M), give simethicone (which can help with gas), and offer some critical care, pellet mash, or canned pumpkin (or all of the above). You can also massage along his spine to stimulate his GI tract. Try to keep him eating. Cilantro and fragrant herbs can help.

Also keep him warm. When rabbits are in pain their temperature can fluctuate wildly, and they can get hypothermia. You can hold him in your lap, or offer a warm water bottle wrapped in a towel for him to cuddle with, just be sure he can move away from it if he gets too warm. Can you take his temperature?

Since he did have some poops, I would guess he does not have a blockage, so if you can, I would try syringe feeding him. Keep in mind some people don’t like to syringe feed without first consulting the vet, but since you were just seen, and he pooped, that’s what I would personally do.

Keep us updated

Agree with DanaNM. Also, if he starts to eat his veggies again, keep drenching them in water to help him stay hydrated. If you are unable to take his temperature, you can feel his ears to see if they are cold (if so he needs to warm up).

Are there any rabbit vets aside from yours that you can call? Maybe one of them could see him right away? Or as DanaNM suggested, hopefully a dog/cat ER can give him sub-q’s.

I suggest maybe giving him some baby gas drops and tummy massage(youtube has great instructional videos) teeth grinding indicates great discomfort. If you can and have a syringe you can force a bit of water into him just to keep him hydrated. Mr Buns had an episode this morning, I walked in and he was also huddled and looking uncomfortable and wouldnt take his treats. I gave him the lowest dosage of Simethicone(0.3 mls) and I had a gut motility drug- you should ask your vets to give you to always have on hand as this stuff works like a charm. about 10 minutes later he he has a squishy poop to flush out whatever it was that got backed up in his system and went back to normal eating and drinking. You could also offer some baby food right out of the jar. Good luck!

How is your bunny doing today? Were you able to get him into the vet?

Glad your little guy was able to get meds . Sending recovery vibes! ((((Frankie))))
