I'm posting up for a friend so bear with me. I have had a search of this but nothing has come up, so feel free to post a link to a thread if this has already been discussed.
A bit of background: My friend's rabbit recently underwent serious surgery to remove an impaction from the stomach. She was suffering from bloat and unfortunately her stomach had to be opened and completely flushed out and a huge amount of hair removed. The rabbit was not expected to survive but against all odds, she recovered very quickly.
Now a few months down the line she's been going off her food periodically. She usually starts eating again after a dose of metacam and emeprid but clearly something is going on. It's pretty certain that she'll have internal adhesions and I just wanted to know if anybody has experience with this and if there were any none-surgical treatments for it and what the prognosis was. I will mention that she had a dental last week to see if that was the problem. She had long teeth but no spurs and today she went off her food again.
Thanks so much for any help offered. X
