Hi Jane,
Sorry to hear about dear Major Tom. What does the Major usually eat? I know you've probably already tried it but have you tried him with a small bowl of Critical Care recovery food? I know some people mush up the SS pellets but I think the Critical Care is a bit more palatable to poorly bunnies. Just grasping at straws....
When Harvey has to be syringe fed he sits in his hayrack and is very well behaved. He has an indoor bunny cage which he uses as a litter tray and a hay rack inside that. When I need to feed the little man he perches inside his hayrack and lets me feed him.
I know it's a different situation cos the Majors mouth is so sore. Is there anything they can put on his mouth, maybe that has a local anaesthetic effect to numb the pain? Which may allow you to feed him.
Am so sorry that he is poorly.
Hugs to you and Major Tom.
Nic and Harvey xxx
