this is the best for rabbit nearest to u

Thank you Zenix. I'll look them up.
Just curious, do they have an on site x-ray machine?

don't be all too entranced by vets with such facilities.
as there are places where vets practice "technology > experience" treatment.
the vet will be open by someone with some money to buy all these scan tools.
then hire alot of juniors so he is able to handle alot of cases.
customers end up paying alot for their inexperience.

when you go to the vet.
they'll say it is better to check with x-ray, ct scan, check blood, etc.
coz they don't have the experience to know by look and feel, or they trying to chop you.
after results come by they run the data through the computer to find out what could be the problem.
this is as good as you and me guessing our illness by googling our symptoms.
they'll then recommend treatment, overnight stay for observation, and a huge bill for all that service plus the scans.

Well, that is true, I'll keep that in mind. Its just that my little fluff ball is 6yrs+ now, so he's quite old and his cecotropes has been very mushy and shapeless more often recently.

He has always had this issue once in a while since he was a tiny baby, but lately its becoming waay too often. His regular vet said its diet related. But I'm starting to worry its an internal gut issue, hence why I'm wondering if he needs a scan or xray done.

Last Friday he really gave me a scare, poops were very mushy as first, then he went into GI stasis. Luckily i managed to massage him and by the next morning he was willing to eat again. He's still not 100% back to normal because his poops are now soo dry and tiny. But at least he's gained back his appetite and is moving around like normal again. Last Friday he was in pain and his tummy was really bloated. I had to do a few hours of gentle massage and that helped a lot. I was soo worried and was with him all through the night.

I'm really at a loss as to why why his cecotropes are soo mushy sometimes. I'm trying the process of elimination now, either his pallets or the veggies are the culprit.
Must get him to eat more hay.... he's a pampered spoilt brat.

go to the vet i recommended, she is one of the most experienced rabbit vets in our area

Ok, will do. Thanks Zenix.
Who is the rabbit expert there? What's her name?

dr jenny

Thank you. I'll get in touch with her.

thats great

Need some advice.. I found a rabbit wandering around my neighborhood few days baxk, pick it up and bring home.. gave him some food and water.. it seems to be normal hopping around but yesterday after work came home and saw him sat on his butt.. was thinking to bring him to vet today but forget clinic close on public holidays.. any idea why his back leg suddenly spread out like that? Tried to put him back on a normal stance but the back leg just can't bend

Do a search on "Rabbit Splayed Legs" on google, it might be what your rabbit is suffering from. 😔
Kesian, maybe that's why kena dumped by previous owners. Please don't give up on the poor fella.

does putting him on rubber or coarse surface helps?
mebbe ur floor too slippery
as long as he eats and poops
he will last until vets reopen next week

Google and read about that.. he was kinda healthy and hopping around when I get him home.. after 2 days only then I saw him sit in this weird posture.. gonna bring him to vet tomorrow..

Eating seems less appetite but got eat la..
Poop size look smaller than usual..

Will bring him to a nearby vet tomorrow..

I hope everything turns out ok for the little fella. Keep us posted.

Just came back from vet nearby my house.. doc say he is an old rabbit and most likely is a spine injury which can't do much now.. just treat him comfortable and let his times come.. 😔

Oh my, thats soo sad. Very evil of his previous owner to dump him in his old age.

Please shower him with love and care in his remaining days. Poor thing. 😢

Can't judge what happen before but what can we do is just hope he enjoy his remaining time.. I also email Dr.Jenny about this, hopefully can get a 2nd opinion on his condition and see how we can make him feel better and healthier

😇👍
