I am glad you were able to intervene and help the family get Lillabelle proper care.
Well done.
It sounds as though she needs a dental.Yes I agree she is not eating without pain meds and so there is probably a reason for her gut stasis. She was not eating much again this morning so we are syringe feeding her again.
She is now managing to eat some herbs but a lot of the food she takes and bites it and then drops it. I wonder if this is from her originating from wild bunnies and they pretend to eat so other buns don't realise they are sick?
She tries to take the food but then moves her mouth different ways trying to find a way to eat which makes me think dental but I may be wrong.
My OH has been letting me sleep between feeds as my meds are making things unsafe for me as I am falling asleep standing up and falling about when walking around the flat. I feel a bit better now but I can't do these early hours going to bed and getting up so early. So don't worry if you don't hear from me sometimes
Lil's has been eating herbs just now after a syringe feed that she mostly spat out again at first and then she settled and ate 50-60 mls at a guess. Do the syringe feeds still help stimulate the gut if she spits it out? Sorry if that is a silly question. I will try and Google about it.
Yes will chat with you later
For the syringe feeds to promote gut motility she needs to swallow them
What is her poo output like now?
