Duchess off food,please give an opinion

[sweety]

Hiya

Duchess is 4.5yrs, never been ill, is in beautiful condition but 24/36 hours gone off food which is not like her, shes normally up on the cage asking for more.

Shes been in her litter tray more often, sits in it and has woken us up in the night grabbing her drinking bottle? So I took her to the vet with the thought of Urinary infection and now shes on baytril and metacam. I have given her dandelions and fresh food which shes eaten and one of those crunchy treats that you hang on the cage which she has occasionally but I thought she normally goes mental for those.

Shes eaten greens and hay which is unlimited but has not touched her pellets much?

Now whatever the problem , theres always a worry of GI Stasis if you dont keep the gut going? I would hand feed critical care altho she hates it and disolve pellets if need be.

What do you think though as I do not want to do this unless absolutely necessary?

Shes weeing and pooing, the poo looks a bit sticky and is not round like? more oblong stuck together?

I have 30 yrs experience with rabbits but havent had many poorly ones..

Shes happy and bright, maybe a bit more relaxed


Please give me your opinions, I am greateful for any..

Thanks

Have her back teeth been checked?
This would be my first thought before treating GI stasis.
