First a disclaimer: I live in a medium sized city in China, so "take to exotic vet specialist" or "Buy medicine X" are probably not viable options.
Yesterday my bunny Snowball was hopping around, eating and drinking fine. Today she was slow, sluggish, and refusing fresh greens (completely unlike her). She was also very gassy. rarely does five minutes go by without a "rabbit fart". From what I gleaned online, I guessed this was serious and brought her to the nearest vet office. He said it was "intestine problems" and hooked her up to an IV for a half hour.
That was three hours ago. She's at home now and, while she seems a bit more active, she's still mostly sedentary and isn't eating. I'm worried what will happen if she crosses the dreaded "12 hours without food" mark.
My options, as I said, are limited. Online a few posts have suggested taking her outside and letting her run around. I do this daily anyway, but should I do it while she is sick? Or is this a very bad idea?
