I cannot take him to the vet.
Every vet near me who sees rabbits is booked for a week out and won’t take emergency walk-ins.
The closest emergency vet is two hours away and I don’t have a car nor can I afford an Uber going two whole hours.

Illness & Symptoms
How long have you had this bunny? Three years
In a few words, can you explain the symptoms? Barely eating, refused banana. Butt looks like he’s having trouble in the bathroom.
How long ago did you first notice these symptoms? This morning I thought something may be wrong as he didn’t eat all his veggies, but typically he saves some and munches throughout the day. I didn’t realize something was seriously wrong until thirty minutes ago.
Have you consulted a vet? No.
Have you started any treatment for the symptoms? A little bit of critical care and I tried to give meloxicam but missed his mouth.
Was your bunny physically ill or injured when you got them? No.
How has its behavior and appearance changed, if at all? A little lethargic, he just wants to loaf in the corner.
Explain your situation in detail. (Please explain what is going on, include details from the beginning of the illness leading up to now)
This morning he didn’t finish his breakfast. Now he is refusing pellets and banana, but took a bite of both thirty minutes ago. Other than that, he seems relatively fine.
