Muffin not well - HELP NEEDED

likeRAWR · Jun 25, 2012

I noticed Muffin had not ran for her pellets last night and they were still there this morning, and the same amount of hay was there.
I tried to tempt her with treats and veg, still nothing.

I put in a bowl of water to see if she would drink out if that instead of a bottle and at about 11am she started to slowly sip some.
That's when I noticed her grinding her teeth.
I 'mushed' up some of her pellets with water to see if she would try that, and nothing.

She's usually a very active bunny and she's just staying in the same spot, only moving to sip some water.
I've placed everything around her; hay, water, pellets, treats.

I just came back from the vet and gave her an antibiotic injection and me recovery food to feed her every hour, and to come back in the morning as her temperature is too low 97degreesF, to put her under today to check her teeth.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Is it her teeth or something else?
I'm really worried

Was she given pain relief and fluids?

Do they have any idea what they think is causing it?

Just given the pain relief and the recovery food.
Vet thinks it's her teeth but doesn't know why her temperature is that low,
and said if she still isn't eating by tomorrow, will put her under to check her teeth, but it's risky

You need to bring her indoors and provide her with a heatpad. Unless her body temperature can be raised to a normal level she will become extremely sick. I am very surprised that the Vet did not admit her tonight.

Has she *definitely* had pain relief ? In your OP you said it was antibiotics that were given

Has she poo'd today ?

She is an indoor bunny, I've padded up the area she is in with blankets and she has a heatpad.
She had Metacam as well at the antibiotic, forgot to mention

No she hasn't poo'd, just pee'd a little.

I've just now finished her first syringe of recovery food and that went down ok and she's just siping water for the last 5minutes and cleaning.
She seems to be moving around just a bit more than before
