What is Infacol?

Its for babies to help them break wind etc.

It helps bunnies when they have bloat, helps break up all the wind,which will help them to poo x
 
You get it from any main supermarket in the baby section.

I noticed Pringles as he sat all hunched up and wouldnt eat, move around and he didnt poo. Its when they really stop poo'ing and eating/moving i think you have to worry. Also their tummy can be really rumbly and feel different all squidgey. Best to see a vet first though to confirm it is bloat if your not sure, they will then give the bun medication and infachol helps move things along, same with gentle tummy rubs x
 
As above, but also mine was breaking wind too, I don't think infacol can do much harm (please correct me I am wrong). It just helps things along a bit and makes bun more comfortable, along with tummy rubs. The first sign I had of bloat was bun off her food (very unusual!) :)
 
Yes our rabbit stopped eating food and pooing. I phoned the vet today to see if i can give him anything else to help and they had never heard of giving infacol to a rabbit.
 
There is no evidence Infacol works in human infants, in fact many paediatricians and gastroenterologists hate it!

I certainly wouldn't expect it to work any better in rabbits
