Hi there,
My bunny, Benny went to the vets on Friday to be vaccinated and the vet gave both jabs on the same night.
We got home and by the next morning Benny hadn't eaten anything and his poos were almost non-existent. I called the vets for advice and they said to keep him quiet and to encourage him to eat. I liquid fed him and gave him some Metacam just in case he was in pain...he's now eating loads of veg but nothing else, no pellets or hay. I also don't think he's drinking nearly anywhere near enough.
Since then, I have found out that these jabs should not be given together. I'm worried, as you can imagine. This is the first time in two years that I've vaccinated a bun, as the vets always advised me not to vaccinate Alice, my other bun because she has had health problems. I'm annoyed too because the vets are normally up to date on bunny meds, this girl is new though and I'm not at all confident in her abilities.
Does anyone have any advice on nursing poor Benny back to normal? I think he's getting back to normal, but I am worried about him not drinking or eating hay.
Thanks in advance.
Gemma
