I have never had anything like this happen to a young rabbit with good teeth. I'd offer him a small crock of rolled oats and black oil sunflower seeds in addition to his regular food and put some Pedialyte in his water to see if that helps.Well, I think he's not going to make it We seperated him to see if the other one was bullying him. He ate/drank/pooped normally. We thought he would fatten back up and be fine. But he's actually continued to drop weight, and I don't think he can get up. Expecting him to be gone this morning.
They are my daughter's rabbits she bought for $10. But they aren't inside pets. When she got them we checked into neutering but it was around $150. So frustrating. Vet said teeth were fine, didn't feel anything, stool sample good no worms. Decided he was just old. But I texted the teen she got them from who said they were less than 2 years old.
Last year she had a female bunny that died of uterine cancer. So this time she got males. Apparently we can't keep bunnies alive!
What can this one have had where he would eat a ton but still lose weight?
Is his nose or eyes runny? Check the inside of his front legs to see if there is any matting from wiping his nose or eyes.
Do his berries stick to the underside of the wire by little strands of fur?Perhaps he has fur block? If so, maybe try putting a teaspoon of cold pressed sunflower oil on his food and smearing a little on the inside of his front legs where he will lick it off.
