My little boy bun, Frankie, still isn't eating all of his soft poos despite both he and his partner Jen being on a hay only diet for just under three weeks now
I took both rabbits to the vet just over a week ago but he couldn't find anything obviously wrong with either Frankie's teeth or his general mobility, or anything to suggest why Frankie won't eat his caecotrophs. He gave Frankie some Metacam to see if that made any difference, but it didn't. Both buns had a short course of Panacur too.
I have actually seen Frankie poo and hop off away without eating it now, so it is definitely him (although I've also noticed that Jen occasionally hoovers them up :mrgreen: , so maybe he's actually leaving even more poos than I realised )
The vet suggested giving it a week and then bringing Frankie back in for further tests. What sort of things do you think they will do, or is there anything in particular I should ask to be done for my little guy? What about X-rays?
Thanks!
