Poor Thomas seems to get more unwell and stressed the more he gets treated. The vet has perscribed Emeprid, Zantac and Metacam, plus critical care, which I have successfully given to him by oral syringe this morning, but I still can't tempt him to eat for himself. We have an excellent rabbit savvy vet at the surgery we use; he thinks stress is a big part of Thomas' health at the moment. (No complaint about the other vets we saw first.) He said to stay as hands off as possible. He says the eye infection won't kill him, but stress could. Right now I am feeling like a really bad bunny mummy, I think I have a part in why he is feeling so bad. As long as I have bunnies I will always be learning to keep them better. Do you experienced forum members have any advice for me? My pouch of Critical Care does not have English instructions on it, so I have no idea how much to give. He had 20ml this morning (he is the size of a Dutch rabbit). I am trying every treat I can think of, but he just turns his head away or scent marks it with his chin. I was hoping that the feeling of some food in his belly would encourage him. His meds are to be given twice a day, to reduce stress from handling.
