Critical Care question

Tinsel

Wise Old Thumper
How much and how often to syringe feed a 2 and a half kilo bunny?

Thank you RU! :wave:
 
It's for Drusilla and she can't eat independently as her mouth is so swollen. She is passing faeces. In other ways she's improving so it is just an emergency measure to get her through the next day or two while the swelling subsides enough for her to eat.
 
dont really know myself:oops: i just feed until they have enough.. if they only take a syringe at a time i feed more often... hope that helps:D
 
I'd aim for a minimum of 10-20ml/kg every couple of hours

Is she eating her cecals ? If not you may need to mix some into the CC

A shot of VitB may be a good idea too. Is she having a probiotic ?

Okay - will do.

No she can't - hopefully the piriton will change that but if not I'll have to.


Will ask vet for b vit Monday and yes she's having protexin mixed in with the critical care. :wave:
