Hi there,
I'm wondering what I should do...
Alice stopped her antib's last week for her abscess that she had, she's doing really well and it's looking like it's gone for now.
Anyway, Alice has gone from clearing her veg bowl 3 times a day and eating dry foor to hardy eating anything. It's as if her appetite has gone, she used to run towards to bowl and start eating as soon as I put it in her hutch but now she just sniffs at it. This has been a gradual thing over the past day or so. I have made an appointment at the vets tonight but I'm wondering if I need to ask for her to have a Metaclopromide injection?
Alice's poos are a normal shape but they're smaller and less of them. I've given her infacol and tummy rubs just in case it's wind but this hasn't done anything.
Alice's eye is also quite runny again and her nose is a bit snotty. I gave her some Bisolvon yesterday and will ask the vet to look at her eye. Again, this has started over the last day or so. Could it be the damp weather?
The reason I ask is that I have to see a different vet to normal and this one is a complete nightmare. Everything is put down to the fact that she's an old bunny and this vet seems to think that we can only "keep her going" rather than make her better!! This is the same one who gave Benny his Myxo and VHD jabs on the same day!
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
