Can't wait to get her but still worried about Furby.. I'm hoping Furby is just tired and not ill just put them both out in their run and she had a good run round, shes now lying down in her grass house something she doesn't do that often now Not sure if I should be leaving her today as we'll be out 4 hours... Do you think I should phone the vets this evening if shes no better or would you try syringe feeding ?

Does she feel abnormally cold to touch and is she very quiet?
Does her tum feel hard?
Or can you her lots of gurgling?
Do you have any infacol? If so and you think she has tummy pain you can give her 2mls and then some tummy rubs. Offer her some veg or a handful of grass and see if she'll eat that.
Hope she will be ok

Shes nibbled a little hay but thats about it...
I've got little Fizz waiting for me and should of left to collect her by now. Dont think I'll be able to go
Good luck with her, I'm sure she'll be ok

That is what she needs at this moment in time and you can't do anything more for her for a little while.
Although you are worried, try to go out and collect Fizz as normal. Sick bunnies have a tendency to take over our lives
Don't worry, hopefully she is just a bit gassy and what you have done will help sort it.

Left food out for her but shes still not interested
I'll keep you updated.
Has she poo'd yet?
If not I would ring the Vet as Furby may need some metoclopromide and pain relief (Both via Injection)

Yes Jane, she poo'd, eating and drinking
I've given her infacol and tummy rubs and she seems almost 100%.. Would you give her any more infacol tonight ?
One more dose wont harm her but I only tend to give it if the Bun is obviously 'gassy'. If Furby continues to eat and poo I would probably not give more Infacol but would hold off Veggies and try to ensure she eats LOTS of hay
