My mini rex Dewey suddenly started acting poorly yesterday. I noticed he wasn't eating as much or pooping as much. Then all of a sudden he started kind of flopping down and breathing really fast. He's been breathing fast and laying down a lot.
I took him to an emergency vet last night. They gave him subcutaneous fluids, Meloxicam, and Baytril. They weren't sure what the problem is though, and I'm not sure an antibiotic is a good idea. I'm hoping he'll make it until tomorrow so I can take him to his regular vet.
He seems to be drinking still, and he took a few Oxbow bunny treats.
Dewey is a 7-year-old mini rex who eats 1/2 cup Oxbow pellets, unlimited hay, and a treat every day. He won't touch veggies for some reason.
