Lovely subject
Any ideas on what causes it in rabbits?
A lady I know phoned me early this morning as her rabbit had really bad diahorrea y'day and hasn't eaten since.
Last night the vet gave the rabbit an antibiotic injection and sent her home with recovery food and bio-lapis, neither of which she could get the rabbit to take. The vet told her to come back tonight, and even though she asked the vet to help clean the rabbit (absolutely covered in poo) he said he didn't think it was bad and sent her away:evil:
I got her an appointment at my vet this morning as I was worried about dehydration, and the fact he hasn't eaten in 24 hrs. His stomach is empty, but the vet didn't think he was in stasis
Hopefully the little fella will make a recovery, but she's scared of it happening again (lost her last rabbit with stasis).
Once he's home and out of danger I've offered to go around and look at his diet etc, but is there any advice in particular regarding the onset of diahorrea that's important, as I've never experienced it myself.
Thanks
