So we got to the vets to be told he's still in stasis and he's not eating fully by himself yet , he's been in two days and has had various pain relief and gut stimulant injections. We've come back with critical care and have to syringe him every few hours . I nipped into pets at home picked up his favourite pick n mix treats and a bag of dried apple twigs and black currant leaves and he's had a nibble of about 4.black currant leaves . we've got to go back to see John in the morning . Vibes please

Any suggestions would be great

Fresh herbs and some grass, will help to tempt him.
hes just had a dental hasn't he? Or has he can't mind sorry xx
 
Sending him loads of vibes. Try him on herbs. They can be appealing as they are so fragrant and yummy! X
 
Grass will be good foe him, in small amounts.
It has sillica in it and that helps to keep the teeth trim xxx
 
Continuing recovery vibes for Flopsy!
Have you tried Basil - might get his taste buds going again.
He's in good hands with JC.
 
Hope Flopsy starts eating for you soon, it's such a worry! About 4/5 years ago I rescued 4 buns and one didn't eat for herself for 8 days after her spay, and then a couple years later the same when she had a dental. Keep persevering, Flopsy will come round eventually :wave:
 
since being home he has eaten several dried black currant leaves and he took his critical care well and he even came and took 6 pellets from me :D
 
Just wanted to add some more nomming vibes for Flopsy. :) Hope he is completely recovered soon.
 
Sending eating vibes for Flopsy xxxx

Sometimes I have resorted to waving leaves infront of their mouths to get them to push it away in anger, but they actually forget half way through and start eating it instead :D mine hate being handled though so things like critical care is almost impossible!
 
Back from vets, his gut is sounding better and we've come back with Emeprid and got to syringe feed him 3 times a day , he's doing okay at the moment :) he ate several pellets last night and parsley , just going to feed him now :)
 
Yep..... lots of nomming and pooing , flopsy!!!!... get well soon...
