Hi there,
My rabbit Reese has some impacted food and hair in her stomach.
I took her to the vet and they gave me antibiotics and critical care (timothy hay powder) to feed her.
They also gave her a shot to rehydrate her and said she would be swollen behind her neck from the shot.
Now she is not swollen behind her neck anymore but she has a golf ball size lump on her right breast area, is this the liquids from the shot just moving? Or is this something to be concerned about?
My problem is the vet is closed until tuesday and the emergency clinic hear doesn't accept rabbits
I am supposed to feed her critical care from a syringe, but I just cant seem to get her into a burrito to make her eat it, altho she will eat the cherry antibiotic happily.
This is very frustrating, when they are with the vet they are stressed and scared so they dont move and they let her pick them up but when they are at home with me they fight till the end to not be picked up.
I am supposed to syringe feed her over 4 times a day with critical care and with water 1 hour after her meals, this is so frustrating for me I cant get her into a burrito...but I will keep trying, I guess I will have to corner her, which I hate to do... anyone have any tips for getting your bunny into a burrito, and more importantly has anyone experienced this lump moving around after a shot?
Thanks a bunch guys, sorry I'm not in a very good mood I'm exhausted from today and I feel helpless for this weekend.
