Over the last couple of days Furby has refused food for an hour or so at the same time of the day :?

She'll eat her breakfast an lots of hay but about 5pm she has an hour or so of being very quiet and won't eat :?
I brought her into the house yesterday and waited until I saw her eating and pooing. She's in now she's started nibbling but no poo yet ..

I was wondering if it's her teeth, she's 5ish .

Impossible to say without examining her

It seems more likely that it may be GI tract related. But as I say, an examination is needed to establish what the problem may be xx
 
As Jane says, difficult to tell. Is she throwing her head back when eating, dribbling, sticking tongue out when eating (these are all signs I have seen in the past).

FYI - Homer became a dental bunny at about 4.5 (he is 7.5 now), but he is not a hay eater but does get lots of access to grass.
 
No sandra she doesn't do any of those. She's pooping and eating well this morning :? I'm so confused what's going on.
I'll book her in with Martin tomorrow if he's there.

I am going with Homer for his dental at 4.30 so may see you?
Click to expand...

Will be later if I can get her in.. How much does a dental cost if you dont mind me asking.
I've had such bad luck the last 3 months I've spent £100's :(.. Furby is now insured but can't claim for illness for 15 days. I just cannot afford anymore large bills .

The problem with that is when I answered the question has she had any illness, well the answer was no . But when I take her tomorrow I will then have to phone petplan to explain why I have had to take her to the vets.
So if they don't cover for dentals and won't cover for what's causingher to go off her food I can't see she'll be covered for anything.

I've sent you a PM with prices I have been charged.

To be honest the dentals don't cost much more than the excess (which was £50 when I last had insurance which is why I canx it).

Is she due any jabs where you could take her for that and then just ask for teeth to be checked during the appt??

When is the 15 days up? As you say if it isn't teeth, then the cost of tests mounts up to see what else it could be.

You have had a tough few months with your bunnies.
