I want to share with you guys something that i found out about a very comman cause of rabbit death; and thats not eating properly...
When my rabbit scamps feel ill we didn't know what was wrong with her.
Her symtoms were:
- huddled up in a corner
- doesn't want to eat
- grinding teeth
- not wanting to move
- not herself
. I first took her inside and then i studyed her on my bed for a total of 1 hour. I did tests, like seeing what she did when i came near (just looked at me) and when offering her her favourite snack (she wouldn't take it). Me and my mum came to a conclution, SHE WAS EMPTY.
IF YOUR RABBIT HAS ALL THESE SYMTOMS TAKE HIM/HER TO THE VET NOW!
The vet told us what the cause of this was...
About 2 days before she had a little upset tummy, and didn't want to eat, but the longer she stopped eating the worse, and then she gets more ill from NOT eating. The reason Scamps was gridding her teeth, was because she was in alot of pain, not matter what pain, RABBITS ALWAYS GRINNED THEIR TEETH IF THEIR IN PAIN
The vet gave her an injection and told us to temp her with her favourite treat, and that would get her stomach moving again, she was ok, and now back to normal, but rabbits are more likly to get it once they have had it once, so keep a look out :shock:
I hope this helps you if your rabbit is not his/herself.
