...it's not coming out the other end looking any better than before.
Mills has been going off his hay and looking rather skinny. The vet couldn't find anything wrong except for a tooth that was growing a spike. It seemed as though the tooth HAD to have been the problem because nothing else was found that could explain why he'd go off his hay.
We got home and it just got worse! His poos were quite small, hard and black. He would eat his veggies and some pellets but still no hay. I ran out and got him orchard grass which he seemed delighted by when I put it out for him, but again....he just nibbled a piece or two and left it. By this time it was evening and our bunny clinic was closed.
Mills is not quite as energetic, but still is in good spirits. I wasn't going to wait any longer for it to get worse so I got out the Critical Care and started feeding him myself. He has been taking it like a champ! So the good news is that I'm getting food into him! What I'm wondering is how long will it take to come out in bigger, healthy poos? His poos are still small and dark, but not AS small and dark as they were. When would it be time to panic and go back to the vet?
It's crazy how much time I spend worrying about bunny poo.:lol:
