Rabbit recovering from bloat- recovery advice?

[vltpops]

Hi all!

My bunny is recovering from bloat, and is doing very well. He stayed at the vet for a day and I brought him home 4 days ago. He’s been eating and drinking and his energy is back! He is on meloxicam, paracetamol, maropitant (last dose was today) and enrofloxacin (for his infection). I’ve also been giving him critical care mixed with emeraid (around 13ml total) 5 times a day. His poos are also back to normal, and his energy is much better (begs for food!)

I’ve been giving him belly massages and his belly definitely feels a lot better ( more soft and doughy) but I do hear slight gurgling when massaging his belly. I was wondering if you all had any advice on how long it takes for a bun recovering to completely get back to normal? And should I decrease my critical care + emeraid dose now that he’s been eating hay consistently? Any other advice on recovery is much appreciated.

Add on: I’m concerned that feeding him emeraid even after he’s eating hay will do some harm- maybe too much calcium in his diet. Thoughts? Do I completely cut it off or slowly decrease it?

Thanks all!

Well done getting him to the vet in time for him to get treatment for the bloat.
What is he eating besides hay, critical care/Emipred?
Since he is on enrofloxacin for an infection, where is the infection?
Was he prescribed any gut motility drugs? They are often used for gi stasis once an obstruction is ruled out.
Extra fluids can be helpful too.
Since his belly is still gurgling, perhaps a follow up with your vet would be best.
