Rabbit with excessive urination and now not eating

[Ccort]

Did you call this place:
Metropolitan Veterinary Specialists and Emergency Service

They are known throughout the city for being incredibly expensive. They also don't see rabbits, but thank you. Last time I was there I had to wait in my car in December for 9 hours to be seen, then told it would be another 2-3 hours. My dog had a broken leg.

From the sounds of it, it is unlikely a vet, assuming you can even find one, would be able to help him. The most likely scenario is that you would end up with a big bill and still have a dead rabbit. I'm sorry. I've been there.

I got him into a vet. They made us wait three hours to be seen and charged $550.All they did was a single X-ray, said to continue simethicone drops, gave fluids and metoclopramide. Vet recommended I stop feeding him veggies, even though he was eating them, and only them, minimally. (A few springs of parsley) Vet stated if he doesn't start pooping and eating well in 24 hours, to come back from pain meds.

He's still alive but barely eating anything and I am feeding him parsley, the only thing he will eat. However, I called for the pain meds and they said they'd have to check with the vet. Didn't call me back for a whole day. I called again...they thought it was for a pet of mine who died almost three years ago-a guinea pig. Then said they'll be closing soon and won't have time to approve the pain meds. So here's another night of no pain meds.

He didn't poop at all today. X-ray, on Monday, showed his belly full of food, claimed no apparent blockage or anything else odd.

Update-he is eating normally again and the only symptom now is the very excessive amount of urine.

Does anyone have an idea of what that would be or if it could even be something curable? He has no UTI.

Bloodwork would be $200.00, plus the $97.00 exam fee again and I would like to know if it's something that could even be treated.

He needs a full blood profile. Renal problems are a possibility.

As is Encephalitozoon Cuniculi (ECj- excessive urination can be the only symptom, it is not always the case that EC presents with head tilt and/or hind leg paresis

I would also suggest the owner finds a more Rabbit Savvy Vet
