I’m happy to hear he is doing better! You seem to be doing everything right and you probably saved his life by doing what you did last night. It’s wonderful that he came out to check on what you were doing when you were rearranging his enclosure!

You will (obviously) need to continue to syringe feed him CC as long as he isnt eating on his own,…[Read more]

Thank you very much for your responses.

I managed to get a fair bit of Critical Care into him (he has 3 feedings since) but he started to “do better” in the middle of the night. His ears felt chilled so I gave him a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel.

I got no sleep last night checking on him and petting him and telling him how he is so lov…[Read more]

They’re covered by her fur.
She’s in a hut outsideI try putting loads of hay etc. down but she pushed it to the side and just sits in the wooden flooring I don’t know what else I can do :(.

In the picture the bun appears to be “tranced”, which is not recommended. it can be stressful to the rabbit even if it appears that they are sleeping. There have been studies that show it slows the heart rate, and it rare cases this can be dangerous to the rabbit.

Is he neutered? If not it may be very hard to litter train him.

Can you describe his housing set up?

I agree with Bam that supportive care can go along way. Do his ears feel cold? Do you have any past pain meds you can give him?  How is he doing now?

It’s a little hard to tell from the picture but they don’t appear to be red?

Were they covered by a flap of fur? If so that’s more of a callus, so I would just keep an eye on it and try to make her flooring softer.

The total travel time isn’t terrible so that’s good. I wouldn’t worry about letting them exercise, the more important thing is creating a calm enough space that they eat during the layover. You should also have a plan for if you get delayed (such as a cancelled connection). They will likely be ok in the same carrier, but do you have a back-up plan…[Read more]

Very young rabbits often like to sleep on their backs. I’ve never heard that it could be harmful in any way. The human should not put the bun on its back, (aka “trancing”), but if the bun itself chooses to lie on its back, it’s fine.

There arent many things you can do now but to try and keep him warm (to prevent chock), maybe give some water in a syringe if he will take that. Just to tie him over until you can get hold of a vet. Ideally he should have sub q fluids, but most people dont have the equipment for that.

Try to sit with him. He might know you are there and take…[Read more]

AWWWWW I’M SORRY
Rabbits will sometimes just simply ‘stop working’ if they go through something scary or terrifying to them. A simple fall or sound that is perfectly normal to us, could harm and affect the rabbit in some way. Depending on the breed, he may live longer, or it could just be the length of his eventful life. Still, no need to give up…[Read more]
