Hi,
Recently, I took my rabbit to the vets after he seemed to be a little bit quiter than normal. Although finding nothing immediatley wrong, they decided to keep him in over night. The next morning, still there was no reason for him being quite; he had eaten all night and seemed fine to them. After many more trips to the vets, and him having blood taken, still no cause had arisen. Finally, they concluded that he may just have been in the early stages of gut stasis and gave us some critcal care powder, Metacam, Cisapride and Zantac for us to syringe feed him.
The first time, he took all of them so well but this morning, he is refusing to have the syring anywhere near his mouth. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips on how to make him take them so that he gets all of it without me stressing him out.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
