I'm helping my very pregnant friend with her poorly rabbit. The rabbit has bad teeth, spurs on her back teeth and a front tooth that will be removed tomorrow at the vets. Her eye is also swollen. She isn't eating on her own. The vet gave her some science recovery which we gave her last night and this morning but we are finding it really difficult to get it into her mouth.
The syringe is really hard to push and then a big blob comes out and not alot of it goes in her mouth.
I looked at baby foods but they all had potato or rice in and i wasn't sure she should eat those.
I could try making carrot and broccoli puree if that would syringe any better.
Also tryed her with some mushed up pellets but she won't eat them.
She has metacam, antibiotics and eye drops and should be better after having her dental tomorrow but i think we will have to feed her for a couple of days afterwards.
Any ideas on getting more food into her?
