Young Bun
Help ive jusT noticed my mini lop as not pooed for about ten hours shes very quiet tonight and not eating her fav treat of banana. I have heard her tummy making noise too. any help hints ideas greatly appreciated. Im so worried now. Thanks
 
Personally I'd take her to the vets for diagnosis and treatment. I'd take her right away.

I'd call them again if they're not getting back to you. Are they an out of hours service? Do they refer to another 24 hr hospital that you can contact?

I'd keep tempting with any food you can. Herbs, fruit etc. The real worry is a blockage, which eating will not help which is why a vet really needs to examine. I'd Google 24 hr vet practices in your area and find one who can see her right away x

I am glad that you took your Bunny to a Vet and I hope that she has now improved a lot. For future reference this may be useful to read

Really hope she improves :D Sending you loads of vibes xx
 
I had to leave her home alone today but managed to get some recovery fiber in her tis morning and some medicine orally. we also managed some fresh grass dandilions a bit of bananna in her and some kale. Came home just now and we have some pellets and some wee. she still not drunk a lot though. Im going to give her more medicine later and keep tempting her with her fav treats. if shes pooing and eating (all be it a little) do i need to take her back to the vet?

I would call the Vet to update him/her and seek his/her advice as to whether your Bunny needs to be examined again. The fact that she has some input and output now is good news and hopefully with ongoing medication until input and output are back to normal Bunny will make a full recovery xx
