cimoreneThis morning the bunny was still reluctant to eat hay and lying a long time stretched out in his litterbox, though he did eat a bunch of herbs like a good boy. We gave him a second dose of liquid food and made an appointment with the nearest small animal vet, on the mainland, currently around 30 minutes' drive due to the long construction project on our big bridge. (I say 'our' because this bridge is the only link between us and the mainland that one can take by car. It's not actually the bridge to our island, though, but one island over.)
So I'll have to leave work an hour early, and Wax will have to take off as well, but that was the only time the vet had this week. The next nearest small animal vet is in Salo, which is more like 50 minutes away.
The little guy started to eat hay almost as soon as we made the appointment, though. He didn't keep eating very long, so possibly he's not actually getting better on his own? But there does seem to be a slight risk that he'll be perfectly fine by the time we get to the vet. Which has happened to him before, and they actually x-rayed him at the emergency animal hospital that time without ever finding out what was wrong, though we later discovered one of his toenails had been broken and bled a little, so our theory is that he didn't eat for a day because he was in pain. (Symptoms not quite the same this time, though, and we examined him for wounds, including the toenails. )
