Hi guys. Need some advice.
My 6 month old Netherland Dwarf, Eva, was spayed yesterday. She's pretty ok, she doesn't seem to be in much pain, she's been hopping around a little bit and is happy to snuggle with her bonded partner. However she's not eating any food. She's tearing bits of cardboard from the bunnyproofing in their room and eating this instead. I've left all her favourites beside her (fresh herbs from the garden, lettuce, carrots, banana, pellets) and even tried her with 3 different types of baby food (fruit, carrot, porridge) all to no avail. She pooped a small amount (3 poops and a cecotrope which she ate).
Having left her for 24 hours in peace hoping she'd eat, I thought it time that I intervene. 2 hours ago I syringe fed her a mixture of soaked pellets and critical care. She took 5 mls before dribbling it out and refusing any more.
I'm leaving her in peace for another few hours in the hopes that she'll eat and poop. Just wondering if you guys have any advice? If she continues not eating, how often should I syringe feed her and how much?
Thanks
