Hi All,
Needing advice! We went to the vets yesterday but didn't feel very confident in their assessment.
We've got 2 gorgeous 6 month old French Lops - Albie and Blue. Yesterday Albie got diarrhoea that we noticed around lunchtime. He wasn't eating. We took him to the vets who said GI stasis most likely and gave Emerid, Loxicam and recovery sachets. When we got home we noticed worms in the loose poos. He's been not himself since then. He's had bits and pieces to eat but not going crazy for things like he normally would and is wanting to just sit quietly inside - normally he'd be binkying everywhere! We've been giving what we got from the vet plus worming treatment.
Blue is completely fine! We've separated them just in case but think they're missing each other! Albies stools are becoming more formed but concerned they now look a bit more irregular and small. We're encouraging him to eat whatever we can and syringe feeding water. They're both full vaccinated and neutered. When we think back Albie has always been a bit quieter and not as active as Blue.
So any ideas?! I'm not convinced by the stasis diagnosis! Could worms have caused this acutely?? Or another infection?? Our normal vets is fantastic and I really trust him but not open until Tuesday argh!
Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated! We're so worried as our last bunny died really suddenly last year at only 18 months and I don't think I can bear it to lose another
