Hi,
My bunny has not been eating regularly since yesterday. I generally feed it Cauliflower leaves and hay. He is 2.5 years old, and this has been his diet since a year with occasional treats and other veggies. Since yesterday, it is not eating both hay and the Cauliflower leaves. However, it eats coriander leaves. I thought it might have a dental problem, but it eats pellets and radish leaves in small quantities. But does not eat any other leaves. I also tried giving it Celery and dill, but it does not eat those as well. So it seems to be eating only specific variety of food, and in small quantity.
Now the problem is, I would have gone with this diet, but radish is high in calcium. Also, it has not pooped since 24 hours (there was about 5 poop pellets 8 hours ago) and just eating a lot of cecotropes. It is partially active. It sits in hunched position at times, but within a few hours, it is again active and runs around a bit but not as how it generally used to. Then it sits again looking very tired. This has been happening for the last 1 and half days now.
I took the temperature reading, and it seems fine.
There seems to be no symptoms of bloating or of it being in pain (teeth grinding). I however have been giving semithicone as per dosage.
Please help. What should I do? There is no rabbit savvy vet near where I stay. I really love my bunny and I've lost one bunny to GI stasis and I want to do everything possible to help!
