Hi. I had originally been posting in a thread about my buns bonding after losing his partner of 8 years. But then Binky became unwell and the bonding stopped. Thread here- http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/s...-with-my-bereaved-Binky&p=6862598#post6862598
Decided to make a new thread in this section as hopefully more people will see it and be able to offer advice, help, thoughts. There's lots of info in the other thread about his stasis and treatment. Starting from post #14 on page 2.
Briefly vets have stated syringe feed 1-2 hours critical care. On emeprid 2.5ml every 8 hours, ranitidine 0.6ml every 12, loxicom 1.5mg/ml one ml daily, baytril 2.5% 1ml twice a day.
He's had 2 lots of sub cut fluids at vets two tues and Wednesday.
Baytril he's only had one dose of so far at the vets. Due again in the morning.
After almost 48 hours of syringe feeding he is sick of it an barely tolerates it. At the 1am feed I made a bunny burrito and was able to feed him but he hated t and could tell he was stressed. When I have come to do the 3am feed he has a wet bum. :-( Previously he has solid poos. Small but solid. So I haven't wrapped him up and only managed to get a pitiful amount of critical care in him. But I'm thinking wrapping him stressed him and caused the wet bum.
He is eating a small amount of pellets. For example I counted out 30 to put in his bowl at half 5 yesterday evening when he got back from the vets. He's eaten 20 of these. Which is a big improvement. He's not really eating much hay at all as far as I can tell. He will eat his veggies. Spring greens, parsley, kale, coriander. We bought lots of herbs yesterday for him as thought if he's eating them to keep offering them. I don't dry them after washing so they are nice and wet. He's not drinking from his bowl as far as I can tell either.
I'm worried about stressing him out with the critical care feeds. Now worried about this wet bum. Just worried worried worried.
