My little REW Zooh Corner rescue, Marvin, seems to have swollen genitals, an engorged penis or something else, possibly a UTI, stones or possibly a bite (although I don't see one).
That's worrisome enough, but when I picked him up to syringe some oral fluids, he started struggling and it suddenly felt like he had a little alien in his chest, either his heart or a chest muscle started feeling like it was going to pop out of the skin. It was erratic and almost felt like a localized seizure. If it was his heart, yikes.
It did slow him right down. I put him back in his pen (without his gf Sherry so I can monitor poop and pee) and he's in there appearing pretty shell-shocked.
I'm definitely very worried for him right now. I'll be trying to get him to the vet first thing. (The ER doesn't normally treat rabbits, and for good reason -- they don't have a clue).
Send good vibes for my quiet little guy, and if anybody's experienced anything like this before, please let me know!
