Akpo - vibes needed

Hi everyone :wave:

When we got up this morning Akpo wasn't eating again :( We gave her some gut stimulant and metacam (before anyone judges me for medicating without taking her to the vet she had the exact same symptoms as last time and I just wanted to help her). Anyway she's eating fine now and has been pooping but I can't understand what could be wrong. Her teeth look fine to me, but obviously I can't examine them as fully as a vet could do. How long do dentals normally last for? She had one in December so I'd hope her teeth are still ok :?

We're taking her to the vet later today but in the meantime please send vibes for my bunny that there's nothing wrong :( and it was just wind or something.
 
Depends on the dental condition unfortunately. Some buns need dentals every couple of weeks, some every few months, some even longer.

Loads of vibes for Akpo!
 
Thanks :) she's tucking into her hay as I type this, hopefully she'll continue. I want my cheeky little bunny back to full health.
 
Just to update, Akpo is still eating fine, vet said her teeth are ok at the moment. She said she can feel something in her stomach area, but they wouldn't be able to find out what it is without surgery, and if they do the surgery they may not be able to fix whatever it is and also it's only 50/50 that she'd make it through surgery :(

So fingers crossed that she keeps nomming and bouncing around and being a happy bun. I'm reluctant to opt for surgery when she seems fine at the moment, especially when the chances of her benefitting aren't great.
