For those of you who've dealt with a bun (or bunnies) having enteritis, I'd like to know:
1) Did your bun's poop go back-and-forth between "normal" and either moist or malformed/mushy? (The vet told me that after antibiotic/probiotic treatment, it takes a while for the gut flora to balance and that irregular poops are common. My Zoe's poops were normalizing; now tonight, they've gone back to ranging from tiny to big and being rather squishy to the touch.)
2) Did keeping your bun on a diet of 100% hay (temporarily) seem to help clear up the enteritis? (I've had Zoe on hay for nearly a week now; she was doing better on it in terms of her poop.)
3) Do you know if having a mineral and salt lick is a bad idea for a rabbit trying to overcome enteritis? (I just wonder if Zoe should have only hay and water and literally nothing else in her diet for now.)
At least her temp. is normal (102.4-deg. F), her appetite is good, and she's still doing binkies when out of her cage. But I can't help but worry that her poops are reverting...though this may normal when overcoming enteritis.
Thank you,
