Hi everyone,
Peter is looking a little better and he has pooed this morning again, but I did need to take him back to the vet for additional gut stimulant. I have a number of drugs at home now and he has had a small amount of hay but still seems distressed. I have used Infacol and liquid feed. I have pushed him around his run and tried everything.
I read that Kale was good for rabbits in this condition so he has had come of that too. The vet said I could also try grass. What do you think?
I know exercise is key so he has had a 15 min run around the garden...he started off excited and then lay down to rest. He is not back in his run (off the grass of course as I was told too much grass was a bad thing).
I am doing everything I can but am I being impatient? Its been three days now and whilst I have seen inprovement he is still in pain at times and grinds his teeth. I have pain relief but I know this can also affect their stomachs so I have been giving him one third, am, pm and eve.
Can I do anything else? What can I feed him at this stage? He has hay (but he's not too keen on this) and dry pellets, kale and a small amount of grass.
Any advise would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Catherine and Peter
