Britney could do with some positive thoughts

When I went to feed them all last night, I noticed Britney didn't come out for food, and she's usually first in the queue. I went over to hand feed her but she wasn't interested and just hid in the corner of their house.

I gave her a small Metacam dose, some Infacol and a tummy massage which she seemed to enjoy. Within an hour she was nibbling on some pellets so I set an alarm for the early hours and went to bed. When I checked on her around 3am she ate some more pellets so I thought she'd be ok to leave for the rest of the night.

She's been eating greens and pellets whenever I've fed them today, but she's just not eating with her usual enthusiasm and is much slower. Usually she'll fight Phillip for the last bits of the food but she's not doing that today.

My first thought last night was perhaps it's the heat, as previous rabbits have sometimes been lethargic with less appetite on really hot days. She's also moulting huge amounts so I thought possibly that too. We've also had noisy work being done in the kitchen yesterday and today - Britney and Whitney really aren't fans of loud or new noises, so they've been confined to one room with the door shut, but you could still hear the noise. Of course, it could also be something like her teeth since she's eating so slowly, or something else. I've not seen her eat any hay in the past day. I don't know I'll keep an eye on her all the time she's eating and then potentially a vet trip next week :?

Oh no, poor Britney [emoji17] I hope it's just the heat and that she's back to eating normally again soon.

Thanks everyone. She's had two lettuce leaves, a strawberry top and a few pellets this morning. Have just caught her nibbling some hay too. Definitely not her normal appetite or speed yet but she is eating slightly more than yesterday so I think I'm going to hold off on the vet as she gets stressed so easily. Will monitor her today then go from there I think.

Just caught your thread, sorry to hear that Britney has been a bit off, hopefully it is just the heat and noise. Sending lots of vibes for her xx

sending good vibes for Britney, I hope she's back to normal soon xx

Best wishes for Britney xx

Hope she feels better soon and starts eating properly

Sorry to be so late to this and I really hope that Britney is doing better now x

A little update, she is eating almost normally, and seems much brighter. Still hiding a bit more than normal but I think that's where I've had to pick her up so much in the past few days! So fingers crossed this will continue

Pleased to hear that she’s doing better, hoping she continues to improve and forgives you for all the hands on care!
