Ileus - recurring episodes u/d bloods ok

Thanks Jane.

They have always been given spring greens without any issues. We have been giving him limited time on the grass too but will limit it even further just in case.

This morning he is a very hungry bunny :p
 
I'm glad he is feeling better....I think the breed are quite sensitive to things they seem to get upset quite easily. Bluebell and Rambo have been the only rabbits I have had that have got upset when it rains? Maybe it's do do with the weather changes going from wet to dry or something...or the pressure? I really hope he doesn't have any more episodes. Have his blood results come back yet?
 
:wave: Thanks for asking.

His bloods are back and although some of the readings are slightly out there was nothing to indicate anything serious and the results could be linked to his anorexia. So the vet is not concerned about the results.

Today he was OK this morning and eating fine. I looked on the camera and he was lying in the sun in the bed. Went down half an hour later and he was refusing food. Managed to get 0.5ml of metacam down him (he is stubborn and strong :roll: ) and 45 mins later starts to take a bit of food. We are now going to give him some Baycox as a precaution in case of parasites. We have already cut out some and reduced veg and his time has also been reduced on the grass.

This is clearly some sort of pain thing but what is causing I really don't know. All I know is it is becoming more frequent.

We know he doesn't like the wind but we can't tie it in with windy episodes (we did suspect this first time) and he seems Ok with the rain and to be honest it hasn't rained that much lately. He can be a little nervy at times for such a bold bunny.:love:
 
I know Leanne, I am obviously pleased they are not showing up anything that is causing it but at the same time feel so sorry for him. I am also wondering if maybe some peppermint tea may help if him and Cassie would drink it.
