Lynn's Bunny
Mama Doe
Yesterday morning I noticed my rabbit, Henriette, wasn't interested in her food which is highly unusual. She also seemed uncomfortable and was grinding her teeth. I gave her some medicam and she ate sparingly. Gave her another dose before bed. And syringed some water into her.
In the morning I could see she used the litter box but her poops were smaller than normal. And she still wasn't eating. So I took her to the Vets and got her xrayed. Showed she has a gas bubble and hardly no food in her lower instestines. Her higher intestines had some food. The Vet did a lot of gentle massage on her with a warm heated towel.
She also had a pain reliever injection and one dose of antibiotics. I brought her home and syringed critcial care into her. She has metacam twice daily for a week and antibiotics. She has eaten some dandelions and a couple sprigs of hay but is mostly hunched up or trying to get comfortable on her stomach. She is still grinding her teeth and not very interested in food.
I'm going to give her more critical care in an hour. But she was so stressed out all day I'm giving her some time to rest right now. Oh and I also did some stomach massaging.
I'm scared ....I hope she'll be ok. What else should I look for?
