hi,
I was hoping someone might be able to help me. My rabbit hasnt been eating by herself for the past 24 hours and she is very quiet and not herself. She is normally quite greedy and running around, but ever since yesterday morning she has been very quiet and not eating. I gave her metacam drops last night and began syringe feeding recovery diet (the metacam hasnt seemed to make much difference although i was gonna carry on with it anyway in case it helps with any pain). She is fairly ok in herself, other than being quiet.
I took her to work with me today (at a vets) and the vet told me she doesnt feel bloated (although i think she maybe is) and although her teeth could do with a file down, they are not that bad and there is no ulceration in her mouth. I have access to drugs at work, is there anything anyone can recommend i give her? Also, she had quite a lot of dandelion leaves and clover the two evenings before she became ill - could this be causing her problem? She normally has dandelion leaves, but mixed in with other veg too and the past two evenings, she didnt have other veg too, just the dandelions and clover.
