Twinkle had two weeks off the metacam and her weight was stable. She was eating and pooing and drinking. She seemed happy most of the time.
Only after eating did I see her looking a bit uncomfortable... eyes half shut, mouth chattering every now and then (not grinding - like she was chewing something she had found in her mouth for a few seconds at a time). Do your bunnies half shut their eyes when eating/just after eating?
Now I do not know if it is my imagination, or whether I am reading too much into it. I am one to always think negatively.
So question is, is she in pain or not at times? Does she need a daily dose of metacam?
My vet is happy for me to give her oral metacam when I feel its necessary - he said once a day if I wanted to - but am I being too paranoid and giving metacam unnecessarily?
What would you do?
