Happens to us all eventually - and our bunnies get it too :shock:
Yesterday 6pm
Give girls carrots in the shed before letting Benny out.
Primrose is sat on the chair and not interested in food :roll:
Open the door, chase her off the chair gently, round the shed a couple of times, and round the patio.
She's breathing really heavy and it's warm, so I leave it.
8pm
No change with Primrose
10pm
No change with Primrose - doesn't want supper
Today 9am
No change with Primrose - doesn't want breakfast :?
I manage to grab her round her middle, on her hips, and hold on while she frantically tries to gallop free, rubbing her tummy with my fingers for a few seconds - it worked last time so it's worth a try - at least she filed her back toenails down nicely on the concrete floor :shock:
To my amazement, she goes and has a drink - no need to syringe her now!
Then back to 'poorly mode' - have to let Benny out so I leave her.
10am
Let girls out after Benny's locked up - Primrose's drink has worked its magic - she's looking alert and hopping about Still not eating hay though Has left some sticky poops in the trays and on the floor HUGE gurgles from her tummy :shock:
what to do? Give them all bromelain tablets and she eats one!
Sneak her a few pellets while her sisters are scoffing hay - she eats a few and loses interest
Find some bits in the garden - she eats 2 plantain leaves, a plantain flower stalk, 3 blackberry leaves, a dandelion leaf and 4 stems of long grass
Eats a timmy seed head but is still not really interested and looks uncomfortable and restless.
Time for some proper exercise madam! :no: She is SUCH a lazy bunny compared to her sisters. Get her out the shed door and shut it so there's no escape - we have running up and down the patio for a few mins - she is not happy :roll:
Then she sniffs the bunny loo and rubs her chin on it Finally twigs she needs a wee and does a massive one and some very bad looking poopies - but better than nowt!
Here's hoping she's over the worst of it now - she's in a major moult at the mo and the shed is full of her fur - looks like a snowstorm in there - and Zinniea scoffed her bromelain tablet night before last - I would have got her another if I'd known it was a matter of life or death :shock:
