Quick rundown:

Rabbit bought from petshop on Saturday, notice saturday night its not eaten, put it down to 'settling in'

Sunday : fresh food in the morning, am at sons christening all day, figure rabbit can settle in quietly ... come home sunday 8pmish, food untouched,

Monday, still no food eaten, I check cage & NO dropping at all.

I take him to my vet , he says ...

very underweight ...and gives him a jab to make him hungry (costs me £30)

Last night rabbit eats half a carrot and some hay, NO dry rabbit food.

Poops 2 poos this morning that are runny (no dry balls like rabbit poo normally is)

Vet says bring him in again today.

Thing is Im in a real dilema

I only got this rabbit saturday from a pet shop, its obviously not well.

I phoned the pet shop and they say to take him to their vets.

Part of me wants a refund because i cant afford to take on a poorly animal, I mean hes not even insured ive only had him 3 days.

But if i give him back to them i think they will just put him down, after all they cant re-sell an ill animal can they??

Hes so lovely

Serious moral dilema

Help!

BTW the pet shop wont pay continous vet bills IYKWIM,

Am worried now as vet said bunny will probably go 'home' tomorrow, but still doesnt eat by himself so will need syringe feeding still.

Trouble is 'home' isnt here anymore and I doubt Petsat home will be bothered to do that

Quick update (if anyones interested)

My SIL said she will have the bunny - she fosters animals, but Petsathome have said dshe cant have it as i 'got a refund' and its in the care of the vets.

So I said, well once its out of the vets can she feed it and take it home and they said

'no thats not how it works'

they are just being arses
