He’s got to have a dental tomorrow:cry: today I noticed he wasn’t ‘right’ wanting hay/grass/chop but not eating much, but eating pellets ok. So i thought probably dental and I’ve taken him to get checked over. He’s got good gut sounds but his mouth is a little bit sore and he’s got a couple of spurs and his teeth are a bit long. He’s normally a hay eating monster so I knew he wasn’t right. Also poops gone small.

He’s had metacam and baytril, and emeprid and I’ve got recovery food to syringe feed him. Going to the vets has stressed him out so I’m leaving him to settle for a bit before doing the syringing.

Awww poor Mr Frosty :( I hope his Dental will go well and that he'll soon be back to full hay munching xx
 
Poor Frosty and pesky rabbit teeth. Sending loads of vibes for his dental tomorrow.
 
Thankyou all :love: he’s perked up a lot and is munching pellets fine. The vet said I needed to get as much recovery food in to him as I could. He’s taken about 10ml - minus what is down my top :lol: from the syringe but then stopped wanting to swallow it straight away so we have left it at that for now. It’s the first time I’ve had to syringe feed so I’m not sure how much to expect him to take how often really. He didn’t seem stressed by the feeding in particular, he’s having a good wash now.

Anyone know how much recovery to expect a bunny of around 1 kilo to take, and how often?

Oh poor Frosty [emoji17] Thank goodness for the good old "there's something not quite right with my bunny" radar and that you picked up on it before he stopped eating altogether.

I don't know if this helps at all but Fudgie is around 1.6 kgs and I fed her about 10 to 15mls of the CC every four hours when she had stasis.

Sending lots of vibes for his dental. xx

A million Frosty vibes. I'm pleased he is taking his feed ok. I find it difficult to know - people make it different consistencies which doesn't help xx

Thanks, I’m just going to go with my gut instinct and see how we go :thumb:
 
Lots of good dental vibes for tomorrow.

We used to get the girls to eat around 10ml every 3 hours. Both are just over 2kgs.

Thanks everyone:love: he’s looking quite a lot brighter now, and nibbling on a bit of hay. He’s also eating pellets enthusiastically. I tried him with some critical care mixed with a bit of mashed banana with tiny pieces of banana on top, and he ate most of that himself from a dish. So I think I won’t need to syringe feed him while ever he is eating something regularly. I don’t want to stress him any more than I have to.
