Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.

    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions.

I got one of my rabbits Honey spayed yesterday; she took no interest in her food by late evening yesterday evening so we took her to the out of hours vet who gave her fluids, a gut motility agent and a crictical care feed. We have been syringe feeding her critical care every 4 hours or so and she went back to the vet today who gave her another motility agent. (we have been giving drops of painkiller every 24hrs). She pooed earlier today and it all seemed normal, however, in the last hour or so she has produced some glopey/toothpaste like droppings. I'm putting this down to the fact she hasn't eaten solid food or hay and that the critical care food is quite liquidy in itself but I would be grateful if someone could confirm my suspicions.
 
Hi, I had the same problem with my bun after having her spayed and not eating, I used a syringe and bought some probiotic natural yoghurt and fed her that, at first she was not responding but I kept feeding her and she was quite happy to take it and enjoyed it. hope that helps. Yolanda.
 
Hi

Our bunny Ruby was spayed yesterday and we are also syringe feeding!! we've syringe fed Charlie in the past when he stopped eating so we we have a stash of different sized syringes!!! It sounds like you are doing the right thing. keep her warm, keep her well fed and finger crossed.

We found Charlie would only eat organic rocket (he didn't like Tesco's cheap rocket!!!) then he only wanted curly kale... then hefinally accepted carrots and greens and finally reluctantly he started eating pelleted food again ....:lol::lol::lol:
 
She seems to doing well, ate her pellets yesterday and passing normally. She's back outside now. She seems to be back to her normal self which is good.
