  He’s lethargic and refusing treats. It came on very suddenly.
  
  We have seen the vet and I’m in the waiting room while he is in the exotics ward waiting for an xray.

  I wish I could take a benadryl there are dogs all over this waiting room. I’m so glad they have an exotics wing with no dogs to stress Porky.
  
  I’ve been so worried that if I ever need the vet ER there wouldn’t be an exotics experienced vet available and it turns out they have a whole exotics department here.

  We’re home now. He’s still acting sick, but not as bad as when we went. They said keeping him for observation was a option, but we discussed stress and the vet agreed that since just going to our regular vet made him a reluctant eater staying at the hospital might not help matters.
  
  Sorry it took a while to get to the update, but when we got home I needed to get him settled back in before posting. I have a feeling you guys understand why I put getting him comfortable first.
  
  We got sent home with three medication and critical care. He took a few laps of the critical care off the spoon but that was it, so I had to syringe feed him the rest. I changed his litter box so I could monitor his pooping. He did poop a wee bit just a few minutes ago. It’s wet and poorly formed but not runny, so I’m happy. (I can’t believe poop makes me happy.)
  
  He’s not eating yet, but he’s a little less lethargic. Still a bit lethargic, I put him in my lap while giving him the critical care and he didn’t put up a fight.
  
  Kid grabbed the camera while bunny was sitting in my lap.
  
  Xrays showed nothing major, and we should have the results of the blood tests on Monday or Tuesday.

  Good news is he put up much more of a fight this morning when I gave him his CC and medication. Maybe bad news is his belly felt kind of lumpy to me when I picked him up. Hopefully it’s just stuff starting to work it’s way through what had been an empty digestive system.

  So glad he seems better now. I agree, if he’s pooping then those lumps are probably just stuff moving through. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be pooping.

  He’s finally taking enough volume of greens and treats that I’m not force feeding him the CC. He is putting up enough of a fight at medication time I have to wrap him in a towel and do the bunny burrito. He’s not quite himself, but part of that might be that he’s super pissed at me.
  
  He has a follow up appointment with his regular vet on Wednesday to see how it’s going and go over blood work and stuff.
