So on Tuesday, my little girl Lily came down with really bad diahorrea :shock: we rang the vet and they told us to not feed any greens that night and check in the morning. We did this, however in the morning, there was diahorrea everywhere :roll:. My dad took her to the vet that morning where they told him she had a bacteria that she had contracted from my other rabbit, James, as every rabbit has their own bacteria in their gut, and these are transferable. Apparently this is very common, especially in rabbits that have come from shelters. Both rabbits are now on medication, of which they need another dose next week :roll:. I was just wondering if anyone else had heard of this??
Also, the vet said that she was 100g underweight, she gave us some pellets, of which they need a tablespoon each a day, and also told us they need to eat an entire litter tray of hay a day each, as well as a 2L ice-cream container worth of greens each per day!
The first few days we gave them this amount of greens, and they did not eat it all, they also wouldn't eat the hay in the litter trays, as once the peed on it, they didn't want it. We resorted to putting the same amount in their hay racks, but they still have yet to eat it all in a day. I was just wondering how much everyone else feeds their buns??
Thanks
