I'm after some advice for a friend, she has recently taken on a male bunny who was not in brilliant shape, usual story he was purchased for children who no longer wanted him.
Last wednesday he was neutered and that night he didn't eat anything/didn't move etc, she took him back to the emergency vet who checked everything was ok and it was so she took him back home and he started eating/running around etc
He's about 3.5kg and is on a daily dose of metacam of 0.9.
Over the weekend he appears have some swelling so she took him to the vets again who advised putting a bag of frozen pea's on the area 3 times a day, everything else the vet has said and suggested seems ok but this concerns me.. :shock: has anybody been told to do this and have they done it?
Is it best to split the metacam into 2 doses rather than all at once?
Thanks
