One year old male Holland Lop, not fixed, named Toshi.
He's been looking pretty bad off and on for three months now, and we finally took him to the vet June 27. The vet said it was a hairball, said to give free choice hay, a chunk of pineapple and something called Laxitone for five days((kinda looks/smells like syrup, it was supposed to get out the hairball)).
Well I left town on the 28th, and got back July 6th so I haven't seen him much. But today my mother called me in the room and he was hardly moving- which was what was happening before. He lays out with his head down, and won't look at you or pick his head up even when you reach in and pet him. We gave him a little more Laxitone, and some pineapple and he looks okay now, but I worry about him. He has been eating all his pellets, drinking some water and nibbling at his hay & pineapple, but he just always look like he's about to die.
TWO VERY IMPORTANT THINGS
I'm leaving on Wednesday to take two bunnies to a new home((a member here on RO)), so I'll need to know ASAP if I need to make an appointment for tomorrow.
AND my mother isn't so willing to take him to the vet again because the last visit was almost $100, and that, to her, is too much for a rabbit. I can pay for the appointment, yes, but I recently had surgery so unless she also thinks this is a problem she won't drive me to the vet. Thats why I am asking instead of making an appointment right now.
I have Laxitone and Critical Care right now medicine-wise, so if a solution can be done using those please tell me.
