I feel so so sad today ! I feel like I keep failing my little Charlie and it hurts me so much to see him poorly ! I do everything within my knowledge to keep him happy and healthy but today I learned something new a little too late.
When I woke up this morning Charlie had loads of soft poos covered in a brown mucus. My vet has told me before that if this happens it's bad, and I knew that Charlie need to go to the vets ASAP. I was lucky enough to get an appointment this afternoon. I've just come back and all these tummy issues that Charlie has had could be all my fault . Apparently you should not feed rabbits fresh hay. I had no idea! I bought a bale at the beggining of the month and it was green and lovely smelling. But apparently it is better to get last years hay for rabbits? The only animals that can have fresh hay is cattle. Has anyone else heard of this?
Well currently my bill for Charlie is at £174. I've been given Intradine, ranitidine, Metoclopramide and Bio-lapis to give to Charlie over the next week as he has a very large and full stomach. It isn't a hard mass which is good, he just isn't passing his food properly. Has anyone experienced this before? Does anyone know why rabbits can't eat fresh hay? Does anyone have any advice for me ? I just feel so terrible. I fed him things that make him poorly and I feel like a terrible bunny mummy I'm suppoesd to protect him from these things . He's completely fine in himself. Running jumping playing. But I'm dreading him becoming slow and depressed like he was when he first had tummy troubles and it will be all my fault
