Hi All,
Have only had my two rabbits, Harvey & Willow, since last weekend. They have both been doing fine but yesterday I noticed that Willow hadnt been eating any of her mix or hay and she didnt seem to be pooing. For the few days prior to this she was leaving lots of little pressies for me all around the kitchen. Checked her hutch and there was next to no poo in there but there was a pinky patch in her woodshavings which looked suspiciously like it was blood. Whilst in the kitchen she did one very soft poo which had jelly bits and some blood.
Took her straight to the vet to be checked and vet checked her thoroughly. She said its not looking too good and has given her some bits to try to get her pooing again. She gave her a vitamin injection, Fibreplex (3 times daily) and some liquid food (Science Recovery) to be given little and often.
One good sign is that she is not dehydrated at the moment. If things haven't improved by mid morning tomorrow I am to take her back to vet.
I feel totally helpless! She has had fibreplex and has been drinking the liquid food straight from the syringe for me.
Can you all send your positive vibes for her. It would break my heart if she doesn't make it.
