This morning we woke to find our boy Gus (4 1/2 yrs old) not himself. He was really weak and hardly moving. We called the vet and drove him in to see her immediately. He isn't pooping at all. The vet claims he has "choke" which occurs in rabbits and also horses...as well as other animals. He seemed to "perk up" on the ride down...after being seen and given lactone - she thinks he may also be constipated we started the drive home. Gus tensed up, more like a seizure...I turned around, as my husband held him while I drove...we went back in, and she gave him the lactone in the office, and watched him a little bit, and sent us on our way. She suggest we get some fresh dark greens (spinach, parsley, etc.) for him and continue to syringe give water/pediatlyte (50/50).
He's been in the cage, and has retreated into the little wooden house, occassionally coming out, to crawl under his wheel. He is still very weak and we're praying for him to turn around.
ANY advice, suggestions we would GREATLY appreciate it (as well as lots and lots of prayers)
Thanks,
Jill & Bryant
