Fluffers
Wise Old Thumper
She ate her tea at 5.30pm as usual & enjoyed some free time in the garden.
Went to check on them at 7.30pm and she was clearly not comfortable. Didn't want to eat or move Gave her some ranitadine, waited a couple of hours. No change so off to the emergency vets at 11pm for pain relief, gut stimulant & sub cut fluids. No sign of gas or blockage. Temp, heart & breathing all normal.
Left her snuggled in a hay pile at 1am, very worried
Much brighter this morning & eaten a little Nommed a fair bit of apple stick & seen her munching some hay. Not back to her usual bouncy self but moving around & periscoping. Everything crossed she's got over whatever it was that was making her feel so poorly.
My gut feeling is that she over indulged a little whilst free ranging but I can't be sure
A warning to others: If your rabbit isn't used to free ranging or having time on grass please please limit the time they have. The girls here only have 10-15 mins out twice day but if they don't stop eating whilst they're out and they're not used to the fresh greens of spring then it can cause tummy upsets
I was watching the girls the whole time they were out & Paintbox did very little eating (more binkying than anything) so really not sure if this is what has happened in her case but I think it's worth mentioning anyway.
