Please Note - Medical Advice
Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.
We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.
Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

Really positive she is drinking a little for herself now, I'd take that as a small positive step. She is very beautiful by the way
Yea I'm really glad, I'd been syringing her water and I was just sitting with her and she started drinking lots from her bowl
definitely taking it as a good sign and thank you I'll tell her [emoji14] Sent from my HTC U11 using Tapatalk

Thank you so much
Not many poops over night just given her more meds and critical care, hopefully she starts passing more if not I guess back to the vets

Keep going ..... Sending more vibes.
Thanks she's not pooped at all since changing her litter tray at 8am
given her critical care twice since then, gunna give her one more hour I think before calling vets - she also ate some kale, spinach and rocket - I keep seeing her nibbling hay - shouldn't there be some output? If she had no blockage yesterday, is it unlikely she's got one over night? xSent from my HTC U11 using Tapatalk

If she has had no output at all personally I would want to seek further advice from the Vet ASAP. She may require admission for IV fluids and medication. The Vet may also want to do another Blood Glucose test and abdominal Xray.
I hope that she will feel better soon x
Well she was pooping last night and early hours of this morning, I was up every two hours checking etc making sure she was drinking and/or syringing water for her. She had her prescribed medications at 8am because last lot were given 8pm last night. The vet said only to start cc if she stopped popping which she did this morning, I was hoping she'd start producing something as she's eaten a small amount but nothing
maybe I should just call, just wanted to give the cc a chance to work through her. A blood glucose test would be good though to see if it's lower or higher, then xray to see what's going on, you're right x

If there's no blockage then short of hospitalising her and the vet doing the syringe feeding/meds/IV fluids/ glucose tests etc then I would keep going. I have had instances of no poops for what seemed like an eternity and all was well at the end of the day.
However, you should consult your own vet about these particular circumstances as they are all different.
I hope this resolves soon. xx

Good luck Grace. Ask if they need to sedate for the X-ray. My vet wouldn't do it when my recent rabbit was very poorly because of the anorexia xx

Thanks haha hopefully that's what happens
I called the vets... They can't even see me today... And William isn't there
She said cc every 6 hours and to increase cisapride to 3x per day.. And call back tomorrow if she's not passed anything over night... That doesn't seem quite right to me..
Does every 6 hours seem about right to you, for cc?
The veterinary nurse also said it needs to be really runny in consistency... Fleur just spits it out if it's like that, I make it a little thicker more of a wet tomato paste kinda texture - am I doing this wrong? [emoji32]xx
