Something not right with Holly - UPDATED 5.00pm

Just come back from being out and she is still not right, she was upstairs in the hutch when her usual spot is in the run.

i have chopped up some apple and she's not intersted (she loves apple) she is groomung herself.

I lookd in the litter tray and i think she has poo'd as i can tell the difference between her and Alfie's poo.

Thanks for your suggestion Elve. I may try that but for now, should i take her to the emergency vet???

why does it have to be bloody Sunday!!!
 
SHE POO'D!!!!! ABOUT 10 OF THEM!! she also started to nibble hay so she is ok right???

I am give her some Infacol in a bit and water (just spoke to vet and she suggested it too)

I am hoping she is better now but will be keeping a close eye on her!

Thanks everyone xx

GREAT!! :thumb: I suspect, as it is with my Bernie Bun, Broccolli is off the menu now.... :roll: :roll: Janex
 
Glad Holly is ok,it is such a worry isn,t it.Exactly the same thing happened to my bunnie on Thursday.I rushed him to the vets.The vet said it was tummy ache :oops: He was fine a few hours later.
I think it must have been kale that started it.
I am going to stock my cupboards now with infacol,pineapple etc.
 
glad she's OK - Benny went into a bit of shock/stasis when his brother Pepsi died last year - I just fussed over him and hand fed him - no meds as I was a total novice :oops: After a few hours there was a loud gurgle from his tum, he sat up and looked suprised, hopped in his hay box and started eating! I think Holly's wind must have gurgled its way out of a tight spot! :D
 
Glad to hear that she is recovering...just to add though, teeth grinding can indicate both happiness (purring) and pain... :?
 
Thanks guys!!

She has been grazing on the grass and eaten pellets and cabbgae..cabbage is ok isn't it????

She drank too! HOORAHHHHHHHH..

They do like to worry us these buns, boyfriend thought i was panicing as usual!

yay , glad she is ok .
gizzy had that earlier last week . tried infacol , tummy rubs etc but he was getting very distressed and seemed to be rolling about the floor in pain . I took him to the emergency out of hours vet and he was admitted . He had gi statis but after two nights in the vet and lots of medication he is home again and back to normal . we go back to the vets tomorrow night for a check up .
its scary tho as nothing was helping so I had to seek help . I,m so glad i did now .
 
Hi Gina Paul, Glad Gizzy is ok.

I don't think she was that ill, she wasn't rolling around in pain, just very quite.

She let me syringe feed her really nicely when usually she hates being picked up...maybe she knew i was helping her?!?!?

Today she is being over friendly with me - bless her!!
