Pip has a gurgling tummy and not eating

[Mervinius]

Pip has had this before, but not for ages and not this bad.

She ate dinner at 5.30pm. Noticed she didnt want treats later on. She did a few poops at 9pm.

Her tummy is very loud, she was very wriggly and pressing her belly.

Normally we can get her better on our own with some gentle tummy stroking and keeping her moving up and down the stairs.

However I was not happy this time, she was getting flatter and colder. So we've just got back from emergency vets.

She's had pain med and gut meds. Normally she eats straight away when she gets home, but of course not this time. She's sitting quietly on the stairs. My partner is talking to her, but I'm not sure how long to leave her. Of course I have work in the morning too.

She's just started munching on plantain leaves. This buns are seriously stressful.

Get well soon. I'm glad your bunny started eating.
The name of that posture is hunced. When the rabbits are in pain they make a hunced position. GI can be stasis or gas. Sometimes it can be caused by something they eat, sometimes it can be psychological. It's a good decision to take it to the vet immediately.

Fur change is the season at these times. Watch out that your rabbit doesn't swallow fur. Groom her during this period.
Be very careful with her poop and eating.

I am not very knowledgeable either. I had a rabbit for the first time. So my knowledge is very limited. There is a nice article on GI stasis on the link I shared. Maybe it will help you.

Hope that Pip is feeling better by now. Getting an anorexic Rabbit to a Vet promptly is always the best thing to do.

Topping up the vibes for you.

Sending Pip lots of vibes. I hope she is feeling better now.

I hope Pip is continuing to improve. You did the right thing getting her to the vet. Did vet send you home with pain and motility meds to keep her comfortable while she recovers?

Sorry to hear about Pip, but pleased that she's starting nibbling again. Hope she had a good night and passed lots of poops. Sending vibes for your girlie x

Thanks everyone. Pip has just eaten some of her brekky and is now tucking into her hay. She's a bit wary of me cos I'm the scary person with the carrier! So I'll leave her with my partner who is on watch duty..

They are both moulting heavily, but she was worse a few months ago and her tummy was fine. I do wonder if the crazy storm upset her. Nextdoors wheeliebins were banging around all night and hitting the wall where the buns sleep.. [emoji852]

Archie had a lovely evening hoovering up all the forage I kept trying to get Pip to eat. He didnt care Pip was ill at all. Just ignored her! Buns!

The windy weather may well have been the trigger. I hope that Pip will do well today , topping up the vibes for her x

Gosh I hope it is not bowel obstruction

Good girl on eating hay Pip.

Pip is doing well and acting like normal. Just home from work and feel like curling up in a ball in a dark room.

No idea why she was so poorly with it this time around. Maybe just fancied an exciting car journey. The Mummy and Daddy stood in the freezing cold car park, whilst she was treated and fussed over!

I'm sorry little Pip didn't feel well and needed the vet. I'm glad she ate some of her breakfast and hay this morning. I hope she's back to normal now. Lots of vibes for her.

Isn't it fun when you keep offering the sick bun food and their friend keeps eating it all? :roll::lol:
