I'm having a very worrying 24 hours with Smokey.
Yesterday, she had a few mouthfuls of pellets at 3pm but by 3.30pm, she was looking hunched up and wouldn't eat. I gave her Infacol and very watery Recovery Formula, which usually sorts her out. However, there was no real improvement and because I had to go out later (I know, I shouldn't have but I had an important meeting), I booked her an appointment at the vets for 6pm.
At the vets Smokey was given painkillers and a gut stimulent, the vet said she was a bit bloated but not too bad. He also said she had some small spurs on her back teeth but that they were not pressing on her tongue/mouth and did not seem to be the cause of her discomfort. By 9.30pm, she was eating hay on her own and seemed brighter.
However, this morning I went to feed the rabbits at 6.30am and Smokey refused to eat anything and was lying in a corner. She keeps licking her lips but refuses to eat. She looks bloated to me and seems to be in pain. I'm going to give her some more Infacol and some watery Recovery Formula and then I'll have to take her back to the vets this morning.
Has anyone got any ideas as to why this is happening? Could she have picked up something in the garden? She does a lot of digging and nosing through the dirt. Could she have accidentally eatend some bird poo (a long shot but possible)?
Any ideas or vibes would be lovely.
