New Kit
hi all you bunny lovers!!!:wave::bunny::rabbit2:
i am a new member from the uk, in need of your help please!!!
i have an ickle dutch bunny, called pickle, whos 1 and a half years old.
shes a house bunny:angel::bunny:
last monday i had to take her to the vets because she refused to eat and just lay still all weekend.
very unlike her as she usually eats all the time and hardly ever sits still!!she loves snuggles, and gives bunny kisses all the time, but not at the weekend, she just wanted to be left alone.she never even cleaned herself like she usually always does.:rabbit2:
the vet checked her over and said it was her molars.:mrgreen:
they needed filing down because they were sharp and rubbing on her tongue and inside her cheeks
i felt sooooooooooo bad!!!!
like a really terrible mummy!!! although the vet said i noticed it really early
i love her sooooooooooo much, shes my best friend, and shes my ickle daughter!!!! :bunny:my ickle pickle!!!
i collected her later that day, thankfully she was ok from the op, the vet gave me some fibreplex to feed her,from not eating for so long and said she would take at least 12 hours to recover
she carried on to refuse to eat the next day, but wednesday she was eating only soft food like banana, a little greens, thats it.
she started to act like herself again, just not eating properly
friday she was the same so i took her to the vets again
they said she had bruising in her mouth and she was in pain which is why she only wanted soft food:!:
because she had eaten so little, her poops were very little and very black, and there were hardly any about unlike normal there are loads and they are big and round
the vet gave me some more fibreplex to give her for the next few days, gave her an injection for pain and gave me some drops to give her for the pain, 3 drops a day called metacam for dogs, believe it or not!!!
but she said it was fine for my bunny.
anyway she said to keep giving it to her until she starts to eat properly again
heres the thing,
she is behaving like she use to which is good, but she refuses to eat hay, so her poos are still very small and black, and again she is hardly pooing!!!
last night she was trying to go for a wee and poo for ages in her litter tray but nothing would come out!! her little body kept shaking trying to strain it out but it wouldn't happen
i massaged her belly but she just kept fidgeting in her litter tray lying down, trying to wee, lying down etc...
she has been drinking water all the time since all this started last weekend.
im really worried about her not eating her hay!!!
i know i have gone on abit, i just saw how much i have written!!!
but i really dont know what to do, i just want her well again.
shes my bubba!!! i want her back to normal:angel::bunny:
if anyone can help or has any advice, pleeeeaaaase help my ickle pickle!!!!:bunny:
thank you
