Milly unwell. PM update

Milly seems a bit under par. She was eating normally until around 6pm but hasn't been very interested in anything since then. To be honest, I didn't think too much of it until I put her evening pellets down for her after doing her dressing and she ignored them Even a brussel sprout has been left untouched. Rog made her some porridge about 10 mins ago and she had a half-hearted attempt at that. She's eaten no hay at all since early evening. I'm going to give her some infacol and see if that helps at all. How much should she have..she weighs about 4.8kg. I also have some metacam... Help:shock:

I would use at least 2 ml

Is there any sign of bloat? If there is no sign of bloat, then it's just a GI stasis, or in a less likely scenario--a teeth problem.

Metacam must be given when there is something in the bunny's stomach, not on an empty stomach

the dosage for metacam is:

dosage = wt. x KG x 0.1/1.5 mg/ml

for a 4.8 KG bun,

dosage = 0.32 ml

assuming you are using the dog's metacam package

Her teeth are all fine, having been checked last week by the vet as part of an MOT:), and she has been producing normal droppings all night. I've given her 4ml of infacol (about half an hour ago , just after putting up the post) and will re-assess in another half hour or so..
 
Nooo not Milly!!

EAT MILLY EAT!!

I want to start a Milly fan club, i love her :love: :love:

Vibes and noserubs for Milly xx
 
Oh Milly I hope you're feeling better this morning beautiful girl :cry: Come on you've got to eat for your mummy & daddy. Sending you lots of vibes & a big, big cuddle sweetheart xxxx
 
A quick update. She is eating a bit, has had some porridge and also nibbled on some hay but is totally diinterested in her pellets. She's pooing and weeing normally but is def quietr than usual. I'll keep an eye on her and if there's no change I'll take her to emergency vet this afternoon.
 
Hi Hilda, I'm having the same trouble with Furby this morning :(
She had tea last night but nothing this morning ... I've brought her indoors about 1/2 hour ago no poo or wee as yet..
 
My little Pyeman was ill last night, not the first time by a long shot. I know how worrying it is and i hope she gets back to her normal self soon. Sending lots of vibes x
 
Could it be her teeth :?
There are no signs of abscesses in her jaw are there ie along her mandible ?

Sending more vibes
 
When we got back from church she was eating some pellets. She didn't finish them, but moved onto some hay and when I offered her some brocolli she gobbled it down. She's snoozing in the lounge at the moment, and seems fairly relaxed, but there's still something "not quite right", or maybe I'm just being paranoid. Anyway, will keep an eye out for changes. I've checked her jawline, Jane and all seems normal. Tried to ring you, but no answer, so I expect you're up to your eyes in bunny-duties. lol
