Hello all :wave:
I know I am not a Vet !! However, I am a bit concerned that I am seeing quite a few posts about Buns being syringe fed before being examined by a Vet and Vet telling care-giver to do so.
Syringe feeding should not be attempted unless you are certain that the Rabbit does not already have very full guts, is not bloated and there is no sign of an obstruction.
Syringing water is OK but to immediately start syringe feeding an anorexic Rabbit might do alot more harm than good. There is a Care Reference about Syringe feeding here :

I'll butt out now and mind my own business........
