So my little oreo was spayed 2 and a half weeks ago, she reacted pretty well to the anesthetic and made a slow and steady recovery, but always hid in the corner of her cage. We took her back for a check a week and a half later on a saturday and everything was healing perfectly.
We were told she was overweight, so was given some diet food that I was going to start on the Monday, this is a week ago today.
So this is where the problems began, so refused to eat the food, clearly she didn't like the taste, so stuck to her haye. As the days went on the food she was eating was less and less. We tried putting her back to her normal pellets she likes, but she was having non of it. So we got to Wednesday and I was panicking because she was literally eating NOTHING. the odd bit of hay, but not much, and not drinking any water at all.
So I took her to the vets on Wednesday and was told her intestines weren't working properly, so she wasn't weeing or pooing, making her not want to ear. So we got a bit of medication, and food for the critically ill to try force her appetite. We were told this would work and she'd be okay within 2 days.
She rapidly declined and by Saturday I'd had enough. She wasn't eating, drinking, and had devolved a problem with her back end. Stumbled when she was hopping along, and couldn't even jump into her cage, and that's only a couple of inches high.
So now we're on some more medication and painkillers. We're also now syringe feeding her by mashing her food with water. This is proving difficult, but we're getting some down her. She eats a few herbs after syringe feeding, and a few pieces of hay, but still not drinking or eating pellets. I haven't seen her poo in a good 3-4 days, or wee in about 2. She also won't run around at all. Unless we chase her around, she'll happily sit in the same place for hours on end.
Any help would be massively appreciated. We just want our fun, loving, energetic rabbit back.
