Me again,
My 4 wild cottontails have been experiencing dandelion greens for the past three days and they did great. Still having a bit of formula.
My small bun didn’t want milk anymore, bit my feeding nipples up, so I added rice pablum (as per rehabber instructions) so she didn’t need to take as many units and she could “chew”. She’s done well for a few days like this. As instructed, I introduced plain shredded wheat yesterday. I thought, it’s going so well, maybe I should pablum up all the feeds and start feeding them less as they feed themselves with the greens and wheat. I also added clover.
Bad move on my part, I now have THREE possibilities making my big guy sick. He’s suddenly lethargic and covered in diarrhea.
He was fine when I put in the dandelion green. But after this, he’s not fine, but:
shredded wheat
clover greens
rice pablum
Which is most likely to have made him sick?
I’ve removed all food for the moment, they have access to clean water, I cleaned the cage and dishes and given the sick guy a few cc’s of unflavoured pedialite. He’ll get formula tonight, as in the past, but without pablum. I’ll reintroduce dandelion greens tonight or tomorrow... what else could I be doing?
Contacting rehabber also.
Thank You.
