Sophie, bloat again...

:cry:
It seems that Sophie is bloated again :( :( this is third time, i dont know why this time, i gave them a handful of grass last night, could it be this? although she was out last weekend in run and munched some and was fine, she has just done two poo's round and fairly solid, her stomach keeps going rock solid then soft again, i felt her tummy and she seems to have loads of air type bubbles :?, bunnies are such a worry. She doesnt seem interested in any food either, carrots, pellets, grass, nothing :( xx

U/D Sophie has done another 3 poo's two quite big ones, will she be ok :cry:

I would guess that the grass may be the cause of her tummy pain. Grass is becoming very rich at this time of year, earlier than normal due to the mild weather.

I would offer Sophie some cooled boiled water. Add some Camomile Tea if you have some. She will need to be kept warm as her sore tummy will make it hard for her to maintain her body temperature. Its good news that she has done a few poos but if she appears to be in a lot of pain you need to call the Vet for advice. In the meantime warmth and warm water will help her. If you have any Infacol you could give her 1ml of that too.

Thanks Jane, she has done LOADS of poo's now, they arent normal shape yet but their was loads, they were really long ones too and some roundish ones, she had some normal water (as i never read this) and i put her out with pringle, she ate a couple of pellets and is munching on a slice of carrot, she seems to be perkin up a bit now and is more curious and moving more. Shall i still keep her inside to keep her warm or do you think she will be ok outside with Pringle. xx

If she seems to be perking up and has started to eat I would leave her with Pringle. Just add lots of warm bedding and if you have a Snugglesafe put that in their hutch tonight.
