HELP! My Rabbit is Really Sick!

[emacanulty]

Hi everyone,
About a month ago my male, 5 year old rabbit Diesel started loosing lots of weight even though he was still eating and drinking. I was unsure of why so I just fed him extra pellets. But this wasn't helping. I checked his teeth because he stopped eating his hay as much and it turned out that he has two extra teeth growing at the front of his mouth, one at the top and one at the bottom. Then I noticed tiny moving dust particles in his fur so I knew he had fur mites. I treated this and now they are finally gone. Since then I have still been feeding him extra pellets (to help home put on weight) and giving him pro biotics is his water (to boost his immune system). However, he is still not putting on much weight. Then, yesterday when I came home I went out to top up everyone's hay and give them a snack, but when I looked in Diesel's enclosure he tried to come over to get his treat but was dragging his feet along. I researched this so now I know he has E cuniculi, he is showing other symptoms of it too including drinking much more and urinating frequently.
When I found this out I got Panacur for rabbits and give him one graduation of it, just as it says, and I bathed his back end.

He seems like he is still in pain, would it be fine to give him Ibuprofen along with the Panacur, or would this be harmful?

Also is there any way that I could trim his extra teeth down myself?

Also should I do anything else to help him get better and stay healthy?

Hope you can help,
Many thanks.

Honestly you really need to take him to the rabbit savvy vet. If you can see extra teeth growing that most likely means he has back teeth you can’t see growing too. There isn’t really a safe way to trim a bunnies teeth yourself unfortunately.

Okay, thanks for your help.

Yes, your rabbit needs to be examined by a knowledgeable rabbit vet. It's not recommended to trim a rabbits teeth yourself, as this can result in microfractures occurring. An experienced rabbit vet will need to examine the teeth and burr or cut any overgrown teeth with the correct tools.

There are other possible causes for a rabbit dragging it's hind feet, such as a spinal injury, or spondylosis and spinal deterioration, tumor or cancer, or if a toxin was ingested. So your rabbit also needs the cause of the hind limb paralysis investigated by the vet. The increased thirst and weight loss may have to do with the dental problems, but yes, e. cuniculi is a possibility as well.

Ibuprofen isn't usually a medication normally given to rabbits, as it's prone to cause gastric upset and ulcers. Meloxicam is normally what's prescribed to rabbits, as an anti inflammatory pain med. It is a prescription medication.

He's so much better now, however it is likely that his hind legs will stay paralyzed.
Again thanks for everyone's help and advice.
Here's some pictures of him...
