Please help guys - these are my first rabbits, and I've really got nothing to compare them with!!
Both rabbits were spayed on Friday, and ever since then Dusty was less well than Clover, and ate less, but was gradually building up her appetite. Two days ago she stopped eating altogether, and I syringe fed her Science Recovery, which seemed to kick start her appetitite. Last night when I came home from work she seemed back to her normal self, for the first time since the op.
But this morning, she wouldn't touch a thing. Syringe feeding wasn't successful, so my husband took her back to the vets while I went to work. The vet gave her an injection to stop gut stasis, and since she's been home she has been drinking lots, and has definitely had some dried food and carrot greens. I've just got back to work from home this afternoon, so I can keep an eye on things, and I've just given her a small pile of grass and dandelions to munch on, which she has had a few mouthfuls of but that's all.
The vet gave us some more Science Recovery to syringe feed her with. But should I be, if she has eaten a fair bit since she has come home from having the injection?? And how on earth am I supposed to stop this stasis from reocurring?? She was so totally normal yesterday evening.
I'm so confused and worried... :? Would be very grateful for some help.
