Very Sick Rabbit, please help.

[troncat07]

My Miri is extreamly sick. 
She is only 1.4 pounds she is a dutch and is 7 months. From what I read she should be at LEAST 3 pounds. 
She always has a constant supply of hay and water, she gets pellets every day and has critical care available all day. 
She acts happy but shes having a hard time moving-no binkys anymore, but she still runs around, clicks her teeth gives kisses and is interactive. 
She has lost bladder control. She doesn’t seem to know when she’s peeing anymore. It just kinda falls out of her wherever she sits for too long- I don’t know what happened. Does anyone know what this could be? 
I’ve taken her to the vet and all they could tell me was that she’s underweight, and gave me the bag of Critical Care.. 
We’re waiting to get a ride to a bigger town in order to get her checked out better-but we haven’t had anyone willing yet. We’re doing the best we can. 
I just want to know if anyone knows what this is, or how I can help her or anything. Please, I’m worried my little bugs going to pass away from other things I’ve read.  
Pleaseee. 

* ALSO 
She’s been drinking alot of water, and most of her pee has been clear.
Her balance seems to be pretty off too, she tries to jump off things and will fall on her face, or land strange. Or she will run too fast and run into things, we can’t even let her out of her cage shes doing so much damage to herself. – We have play times that we just let her run around in a selected area, but she used to free roam and it’s just too dangerous.

Oh dear – so difficult to know.

You need a better vet who will do some diagnostic testing (bloodwork, etc) and x-rays because honestly it could be so many things and honestly there is no way for anyone here to diagnose what is wrong with her.

I hope you get to that vet sooner rather than later to get some answers.

Vibes to Miri.

i’m no expert, i would take her to the vet ASAP.
but in the meantime, do you know if she is eating well?

i found two things online, but like i said, i am no expert… don’t panic but don’t wait too long to see a vet.

I agree with Sarita – the only place you are going to find out what is going on is a rabbit savvy vet.

Healing vibes for Miri. Poor thing.

She definitely needs to see a better vet and fast-I hope you are able to do that.

Are you feeding the critical care?

Is the main obstacle keeping you from taking her to a specialist transportation? What area are you in? (Don’t give your exact address on a public forum, just general area.)

[troncat07]

She has been eating her hay just fine. However we have a container of pellets in there that she’s barely touched, she only eats half of her treats now, but will devour the critical care.
I live in Wisconsin, Mid area. and, I know what vet I need to take her to, I’m just waiting for a ride.
I was just wondering if in the mean time I could get any type of information.
She’s been acting a little better, but she’s definately not up to her usual self.

[tanlover14]

I wonder if she could have some teeth problems if she’s not interested in the pellets… if your hay is on the softer end it may be easier for her to eat than pellets.

Try fluffing up her pellets with some water by sprinkling some water over them and fluff them up with a fork. And see if she will eat them like that. If she does, I would definitely be willing to bet she has some teeth issues. The CC is good for her, especially if she needs to gain weight so I would keep on that since she seems to really like it.
