Mistys return from the vets!

So I took her to the vets and explained everything. She was very helpful and agreed that cabbage was a rich food and that could of caused the toilet problem. She said that she seemed fine after examining her and then said she would be fine to proceed with vaccinations. I'm happy with the news, but since coming home misty isn't herself. She has always loved nuggets and hay but she wont touch it, and I've been encouraging it because the vet said to give her lots of fibre. She is just sitting in her bed, her poop has come back to normal, I'm just worried about her. I might be worrying to much and she might be fine, but I'm just concerned after loosing Buddy.

Opinions? :( -Thank You.
 
Is this the vet that you normally use and are you happy with her? If so, it might just be that Misty is a bit stressed by the vet visit. Which vaccination did she have? Does she normally get stressed when she goes to the vet? None of my rabbits will eat for a while after a vet visit, but I know that's always the case and so don't worry too much.

I think you just need to watch her very closely for the next little while and then re-assess the situation.

Sending vibes for her.
 
Yes it is the vet we normally have and I am happy with her service. I agree, it has been a stressful day for her. She has only ever been the vets when she was young for her first vaccinations and health check and she was more relaxed then, but she wasn't alone and without Buddy. She got the jab for mytomoxosis -Think that's spelt wrong! Thank you for your help- you've been very helpful.:)

It's a normal reaction for a rabbit to be 'quiet' after the novibac myxo (which is the one she had) .. This is what the vaccination data sheet says:


A transient temperature increase of 1 - 2 °C can commonly occur. A small, non-painful swelling (maximum 2 cm diameter) at the injection site is commonly observed within the first two weeks after vaccination. The swelling will resolve completely by 3 weeks after vaccination..

She may well be off colour for a day or so, but let your vet know if it goes on tomorrow ..
