Wise Old Thumper
Last night Madelyn got her rabbit pellets, greens, and lot of hay. Early this morning, my spouse gave her more pellets, but she did not eat any/much of her hay.
Of course today was the day I was doing work in another room, so I did not come downstairs to check her at my usual time to give her more hay. When I did check her, she had eaten the pellets my spouse gave her in the morning; but none of her hay. She also had about half as many poos as usual for the morning, and a few of them were small or connected by a small piece of her fur.
I tried tempting her with more pellets and she ate a few and walked awy.
My vet did not have any appointments today after the holidays; so he advised me to give her fluids and metocloprimide and they added an appointment at the end of tomorrow to see her.
About twenty minutes after getting meds, she peed a little in the cleaned litter box; and by one hour later she passed some poos that looked normal sized.
She was sitting in the litter box for a while, so I am thinking she could have a UTI or bladder stone. There were no specs of blood in her pee, although the vet will need to see if there is any bacteria or microscopic blood in her urine.
Under normal circumstances I would be glad she passed some poos and was still nibbling her pellets; yet, after having lost Evan two weeks ago to an awful stasis I am now stressing about Madelyn.
Please send us both some positive vibes.
