ohhhno baby wild bunny may have bloat....looking better

Baby has had subcutaneous fluids , gut stimulant and i think a painkiller but not sure :? everything was a bit of a rush and Tracey is a bit upset and stressed .

its been a horrid day and will post another thread about that in a mo :(

vet thinks either bloat or the start of a gut infection (entaritus??sorry hopeless at spelling :oops: )

Aparently this often happens to babies raised on kitten milk from a very young age :( :( :(

Oh dear

I dont know if the Vet would think giving some Cholestyramine (Questran) a go might help? In cases of Enterotoxaemia it is meant to bind up the enterotoxins before they are absorbed into the bloodstream. A bit of a longshot but just had to mention it.

Poor Wildie..... :cry: :cry:

What about soft poop from a healthy bun could this not help with the good bacteria. I'm sure I have read that some where :? I'll have a look and get back to you.

Well they do hiccup.....
Unfortunately they also make burp sounds when their stomach is so distended it restricts their lung capacity :cry:
So the 'burps' are a sort of mouth breathing as the lungs are not able to expand due to pressure on them from the distended stomach :cry:
