I am away from home at the moment but according to the hubby Dottie was twitching and making weird noises this morning ("sounds like farting" he said) . being that we are still new to rabbits he took her to the vet today (senior vet in a animal hospital / vet practice) , he checked her out and couldn't find anything wrong with her at all.
He gave her some short term antibiotics (just in case) and sent her home.
Now it seems to have started again, we did some research and it looks close enough to the hiccup videos on youtube, but it is pretty full on and has been going on for a full hour now.
Does anyone know what could be causing hiccups, do they normally last this long and what else could it be if not hiccups ?
I should mention that she is eating and drinking etc as usual. she's currently fully stretched out on the floor chilling with Lilly and does not seem upset but is still having the hiccups (if that's what it is?!)
Their diet is excel and timothy hays , excel pellets and fresh herbs and greens plus some veg etc . We have not made any dietary changes since we have gotten them.
Should we be worried ? if she's still got it in the morning we will take her down to the vet again , but if it could be something worse we'll rush her down again now.
