Fluids, Painkillers, Poo and Wee - Mae

Mae is currently reciving sub cut fluids (thanks to my mummy :love: ) The only problem is that we can't really see what we're doing. Has anyone had thier bun shaved in just that area? Im back at the vets tomorow so will probably ask for that to be done.
Pain killers - Mae is having some painkillers once a day but is tooth grinding for the rest of the day. If I cant up this anymore what should I ask for, I think she's on Matacam (sp?)
Poo- I am seperating Mae tonight (put in a cage next to Sebastian though) so I can moniter her poos tonight as I havent seen her pass any or found any that look small enough to be hers. How long can I bunny go without pooing? Its almost been 5 days now :shock:
Smell- she also smells like wee, and the litter tray has a stronger smell too it, could this be her? Scince starting the fluids I havent seen her drink acctually :? whereas before she was drinking alot.
She's starting to eat a little bit by herself now but hardly anything.
