Hi
I wonder if anyone can give me some advice about the following please.
My rabbit Patch’s digestion is not good. After a bout of stasis eighteen months ago he has never really fully recovered and seems to be in and out of stasis but never completely normal. He has been on a maintenance dose of Zantac and metoclopimide for six months - right now on a dose of 0.25 mils three times each day. He went to the vet yesterday for a check up and a medicine review. The vet now wants to increase his dose beginning with 1/2 a mil two to four times a day gradually rising if there is no improvement to 1 1/2 mils two to four times per day! Sounds rather a lot to me. I have not increased his dose as I am concerned . I have never heard of a rabbit on such a high dose. I rang and queried it with the vet who says this dosage won’t hurt him.
Anyone else been prescribed such a high dose for their rabbit. He is a Dutch rabbit weighing 2.8 kilos, which is a bit overweight I know but that is perhaps another issue.
Any advice will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Christine
