Hi
Just thought I would let you know that when my little Spot went off his food recently (due to our stupidity in giving him a drop of Frontline) and ate hardly anything but a few dandelions for almost a whole week, we got sachets of Bio Lapis from the vets which you make up with water into an isotonic solution. It contains all the vitamins and minerals they need, as well as probiotics, and can be given by syringe if they won't drink.
It kept Spot going (along with the gut motility injections, tummny rubs and dandelion offerings throughout the night), although sometimes he was very keen to have it by syringe (he wouldn't drink from his bowl at all) and at other times resisted (so the dandelions were dunked in the stuff!). 10 sachets cost about £6.
Spot has fully recovered from his ordeal now
he did have a scary phase of having fits and also went blind for a while (Fiprinol - the active ingredient in frontline, is neurotoxic), but a great rabbit vet inWatford helped after my usual one said nothing else could be done. This was the most expensive flea treatment in history I think - but Spot is worth every penny of about £250! :shock:
