Spring was uninterested in food on Saturday morning and looked miserable so off to the vet's we went, especially after she was hospitalised for five days less than a month ago. I had already zantaced and metacamed her so the vet gave her some metaclop as there was nothing else untoward to be seen/felt. Thankfully by tea time and two syringe feeds later she was back to normal.
Then on Sunday BJ was the same - miserable and uncomfortable. As he doesn't get stressed by being indoors I kept him in after I had given him some meds. He felt very cold and seemed to appreciate having his tummy against me. After syringe feeding him and when he felt warmer I took him back to Rosie along with three heat pads. When I checked on him an hour later he was much perkier and was nibbling some hay and then later tucked into his tea with gusto.
It cannot be a coincidence both bunnies being off at the same time. There was nothing untoward in their litter trays before or after and they have not been given anything different at all as far as food goes. I can only assume that something affected them but as to what I have no idea. I am just so relieved they are now fine, my stress levels were going through the roof.
I am in awe of those of you coping with more than one poorly bun at a time.
