Wise Old Thumper
It is 5:30 am and I am becoming more worried about Evan with each hour he does not poo. He is such a sweet little bunny (he only weight about 0.75 kg with a short tiny small bone structure, he is the smallest full grown dwarf rabbit I ever had) and he normally likes to pose and get petted.
at 10:30 am yesterday I checked him as I was giving he and his brother some fresh hay. His hay from the night before looked like it was not/barely touched and he left about 1/3 of the dandelion greens I gave him about 12 hours earlier. He also did not have any poo in his box which I cleaned the night before and he did not drink his fresh water. When I cleaned his box the night before he seemed a bit light, but he had eaten much of the hay from that morning and he came to me to get his evening dandelion greens which he was eating quite quickly.
Therefore, I was surprised to see he still had some of the greens left the next morning. I called the vets, and while waiting for his appointment time I gave him some medicam, cisapride, and fluids. Several hours later at the vets, the vet said his cecum was 'doughy' but he did not have much food/material elsewhere. He told me I can add the metoclopramide, keep up the fluids and other meds, and syringe feed if he did not eat. He is peeing following the sub Q fluids.
His brother Dash is a megacolon bunny who makes larger, oval poos and has had cecum issues before. Evan makes normal round and small poos. Both are on a no pellet diet with only hay and greens. They both eat a lot for their small size.
Even though I syringe fed him early evening and at night; I still do not have any poos. He just got more critical care, more fluids, and more cisapride and I can feel material on the upper area of his left side below his ribs. He is such a small bunny so I am very worried. Please send us some vibes for poo. Any additional advice would be appreciated too.
