I came home to find one of 4 kits in a corner of the hutch and in a bad way. I thought he was stuck as he had his nose pressed out of the cage and was panting and looking quite distressed...
No obvious wounds, wasn't stuck... but his mouth makes a grinding noise when he chews. He is about a month old and has never shown any signs or problems. His litter mates are all fine as well.
I think he jaw may be broken, but I don't know how that could have happened... I don't think anything has gotten to them and as I said, no obvious woulds... just the grinding sound when he moves his mouth. No jutting bones and his teeth look ok.
I don't think he can eat, but I'm about to try and get him to... he is a bit lethargic as if he has been in pain for some hours...
He is dizzy, flopping too and a little spastic.
What do you think?
