I am really worried about Izzy, all the buns are havig a 4 week course of panacur, this started on Tuesday when i weighed them all to get the doses, Izzy felt quite thin this morning when i picked her up for a cuddle so i have just weighed her again, she was 1.51kg on Tuesday she in now 1.25kg :cry:
she is eating etc but doesn't seem to want to do much today (ie run around etc) but i put that down to the fact its boiling here today, any ideas anyone?
 
I would weigh her again in a couple of days. Also try to see if her partner (assuming she has one?) is getting more than his fare share of the pelleted feed.

BTW are they on A+P ?
 
Ok thanks Jane, Oh thinks i am being paranoid he just gave her some extra food which she wolfed down so maybe Oscar (her partner) is just being a pig these days :?
They are on excel.
 
Well I'd weigh her again on Wednesday and if she has lost again I'd get C to take a look at her :)
She may be eating more slowly than Oscar and so he is getting most of the pellets. This *might* mean she has some tooth issues brewing.
 
Taking a break from the allotment!!! I have had this happen with 2 rabbits. I wondered if it is somehow caused by them having chronic underlying EC (the case with both of those rabbits) that somehow is 'disturbed' by the treatment and initially causes a flare up of problems (ok I am not a scientist or vet - but I just wondered??).
