Have a year old watered-down spayed Dutch and she stopped eating pellets and drinking. She will eat carrot tops but nothing else. I took her to a vet and all checked out well but after about 4 hours of not urinating or defacating I decided to give her 15 cc of critical care and 30 cc of lactote ring fluid. I also gave her 0.3 cc of metacam, once Saturday and once Sunday. She did not seem hydrated.
This morningI found 10 fecal pellets and no urine. She is not very lively and it may be because she is away from her close room mate. I phoned the vet and she said it sounds normal given whatI medicated her with and if nothing happens by tomorrow I should bring her back.
Ithink tomorrow is too long (at least for me) to wait. At the moment it will be about 24 hours since she urinated. I know cats can wait to urinate up to 3 days but how about a rabbit?
