Young Bun
Honey has been in rabbit hospital all week with a suspected stasis which she has been very prone to all her life. She is 10 now. However it turned out not to be true stasis which I suspected as she was eating sometimes and pooing tiny wee black poo. A blockage was first on the list but x-rays over the week proved this not to be the case.
It turns out the last part of her bowel is not taking in the nutrition she needs from food passing through. Also she has not been eating her sticky poo so not getting nutrition there. So she has a kind of bunny IBS. This means she needs the nutrition from Oxbow and Emeraid. Of course she hates it. The vet said she took it fine when she was in but we can't get her to take it at home.
I have tried wrapping her in a towel but she is getting so stressed I had to stop. Any tips would be welcome about getting it down her throat. We can't mix it with likes of banana I don't think because of the food problem she has. At the moment I have put some on a plate and am hoping she decides to eat it. I would be grateful for any ideas or tips.
I was also wondering if you can mix a days worth and keep it in the fridge to use as needed?
