I have a Netherland Dwarf rabbit called Felix.
On Sunday he spent most of the day running round the garden, like heusually does when the weather is fine. We have no new plantsin the garden and although we have both ivy and laurel, he has nevermade a move to touch these plants. He has had nochange of diet either.
On Monday morning I came down to find that Felix had developed severediorreah during the night. It was so bad that it was up thewalls, everywhere. I washed him, made sure he hadwater and clean bedding and went to work.
Monday evening he had got worse. He was showing no interestin moving around, of eating or drinking. So we took him tothe vest who examined him and found that his abdomen was swolen andgassy ... she gave us anti biotics and some powdered food.
Since then he has got worse. He isnt passing any stools now.. yesterday he passed the odd one .. foul smelling, jelly like andwatery.
At times last night I thought he had died. I went to touchhim and his body felt stiff and cold (as though of a newly dead animal).... he would jerk rapidly from time to time but otherwise had noenergy.
This morning he sits in a little ball .. uninterested in anything andnot wanting to be held. If I hold him he goes floppy and wheni put him down he jerks.
Please help me.
