Hey all, my rabbit, Graham, M, 9yo has become acutely unwell. Around a fortnight ago I noticed his third eyelids showing. Nothing too crazy, but noticeable. He gets incredibly stressed at the vets so I was hesitant to take him for that.
On Saturday (05/10) his eyes had gotten considerably worse and had started to protrude so I took him to the emergency vets. They found no issues with the eyes themselves, and checked everything but his teeth (he was a very unhappy bunny and wouldn’t let her in). Vet thought it may be a brain tumour. Sent away with painkillers and critical care.
On Monday (07/10) his breathing appeared laboured, like he was gasping for air. Eyes had gone down considerably. Took him back to the vets to see if they could take a look in his mouth to rule out dental issues. They ended up sedating him and found no issues. They sent him home with baytril to rule out infection.
He’s still eating teeny bits and I am supplementing with critical care. He’s had two doses of baytril and is having Metacam twice daily for any pain. Poops are fairly normal (just a little smaller). Obviously I’m hoping for the best but expecting the worst. Sadly my nearest rabbit specialist is over an hour away and he does not travel well- I’m worried the journey itself might kill him.
Does anyone have any advice?
