Pip has gas again

[Mervinius]

So we are back to Pip having gas. I've got to work today, so going to have to leave her at home. She's not eating! I just can't understand it. I think it must be the pellets although they've been fine for 5 months!

I dont know if maybe they just swell too much in their teeny tummy [emoji848]

My OH is at home, so he can watch her. Going to have to go wake him with the news [emoji24]

Poor Pip It really does sound like it's the pellets doesn't it. Perhaps consider just one or two a day, or none. I hope she feels better soon.

What has her poo output been like over the last 48 hours ?

Best thing I did was put all my Rabbits on a pellet free diet.

Large poops everywhere. Both eating like troopers last night. Phoned ER vets and they said we could give her loxicam and see how she is. So done that, off to work and OH will monitor.

Is it definitely GI tract pain and not bladder pain ?

What brand of pellets is she on?

 

[Mervinius]

Sorry everyone finally back from work. We have her metacam and she started eating by 10! She's begging for food, so she seems fine.

Going to phone the vet tomorrow to talk things through. But not giving them any pellets today.

If I don't give them pellets how will they get Vit D? They don't go outside [emoji848]

 

[kattymieoww]

Glad she's feeling better.x

glad the episode passed quickly. Taken from FHB website Rabbits that are kept indoors and not exposed to sunlight may not have enough vitamin D to help them absorb calcium from the diet. This won't matter if the diet has enough calcium in it but will matter if the diet is low in calcium. so technically IF you were to get the right calcium level with her hay & forage you wouldn't need to worry. Its a big IF though - even the fact she has no incisors could mean she needs a tiny bit less calcium than Archie.

Hmmm that would be hard to know wouldn't it [emoji848]. I wondering if we should try science selective the grain free one?

We're on those and seem to be fine but these two don't have touchy bellies.

Primrose was a no nugget bun due to gas episodes. The vet didn't have many concerns about her calcium/d vitamin but suggested we check it yearly just to be sure. The one she had before we lost her indicated she was doing well with both.

Oh thats interesting. How did they check her vitamin levels ?

 

[CarelessSquid07]

A blood test I think during her yearly work up.

They don't always do them but both Rodney and Primrose had them last year as he'd been struggling with bladder sludge and we couldn't confirm if it was just him or both of them as they used to use the litter tray in the exact same spot.
