Hey - me again (sorry!). Wasn't going to bother you all with anything else but I'm just being typical me about things (paranoid).. Just wondering how long it usually takes to recover from a serious stasis episode? All the bunnies I've had in stasis before have gone back to normal pretty quickly. Usually after a couple of days at best you'd never know any different. Snowflake is still doing very well, in herself she's completely back to normal. Even back to begging for food - as long as it's the 'right' food! She's a playful bunny and she's back to digging, throwing her rattles and balls, binkying and running around non stop. But in terms of eating she's still a bit off of her food. She's become very picky, though that's probably a result of being given only her favourite foods while she was ill :roll: but she's also not finishing her veg at night. It tends to sit there for quite a few hours and she goes back and picks at it. I've made some alterations to their diet, nothing drastic but I've reduced their veg amount fairly considerably (not sure if I've overdone it or if it's about right at the moment) and have removed almost all actual vegetables in favour of herbs. Along with them they've had a
very small amount of spring greens, rocket and a
very very small amount of cavolo nero (just using the last of it up very slowly) during the week, but many nights it's just been herbs. I've included mint a little more but other than those minor changes everything is the same. No new foods except some dried forage. Just slightly different amounts. Snowflake has refused Fibafirst since the whole thing started so instead she gets a little dried forage from P@H (rabbit safe one) and a bit of Rosewood Dandelion Salad in the mornings. She's been eagerly eating that and has been eating a
lot of hay. So I'm not sure if I should be worried or not? She's certainly eating, just smaller amounts and she's much more picky.
I'm probably just being paranoid.. I was just hoping someone else could maybe give me their input and tell me I'm worrying too much?
:mrgreen:
Oh, I gave her the emeprid for a couple of days but it was really stressing her out. She's a bunny who adores attention but it
terrified of being picked up (you'll usually get bitten for trying!), and she doesn't make it easy to give her medication unless you're holding her. She's had enough of syringes and runs away if you try, so it was a balance of the benefit of the emeprid vs stressing her out and possibly sending her into stasis through stress. I still have about half left and she hasn't had it for a couple of days, but she doesn't seem to have deteriorated without it.
