Sigh.
Mucus returned again to Korn today. If it even is considered mucus of course. Usually when something odd happens I document it or even take a high res picture of the droppings to remember exactly what happened. Korn is a longer haired lion head, he has a large mane, chest hair, and the hair near his bottom is long too. He enjoys grooming time but the only area he won't let me comb his mostly his chest. He passes a lot of "bracelets" due to his weird chewing habits and his hair intake. I try to groom him as much as possible, but they never seem to go away. But I'm also always happy that his gut pushes them through.
It may seem odd but I've always taken my rabbits poop very seriously because it almost always indicates that something is wrong. I think about 3 weeks ago, he passed a connected poop with a single hair with yellow mucus? It was a tiny bit, and I never saw it again so I decided to let it go, and if I saw it again, I'd have to bring him in.
Today I was out at my vet with Casper. (Deworming) so I was not with him much. I took him out today and he was not acting like himself, running around or chewing toys, he was just in his liter box spot sitting down.
He often goes in the liter box, and everywhere outside of it too. But he didn't tonight, and he just sat in his spot. Only when I got on his level and called him to me did he even come close. I was worried so I decided maybe change of scenery would help. And it did. When I took him out to the living room, where he chinned everything and was more animate. He went downstairs and back and continued to act like himself. He even humped my leg, which made me think he was okay since he had the energy, and was resisting to me picking him up.
Throughout all of this, I noticed he didn't poop everywhere like usual, just peed. He NEVER has droppings that are oddly shaped, smaller, etc. Just bracelets and his regular droppings. He didn't want to drink any water, or eat any pellets, or hay. I am having a terrible time getting hay because the weather is horrible, which means they don't bring it in. I think the lady is sick of me calling and asking if they've brought any in yet. I gave him some Culantro (already forgot what this is in English) that was soaked in water so he would consume something and take in some fluids. I put him to bed now but he hasn't touched anything inside.
I'm just worried he will get worse over night. Or while I am away tomorrow for 9 hours.
I took some pictures of what I found. I'm going to phone my vet tomorrow, but I'd just like to have an idea of what's wrong, once again.
Could this even be related to the E.coli they were diagnosed with weeks ago?
Thank you.
