hey guys! I am a very worried bunny mom. About three days ago my precious bun stopped having any interest in food, she ate a few leafs of lettuce the first day some of her pellets; I tried giving her a carrot to entice her to eat and she had a couple nibbles but then stopped. After that she had absolutely no interest in eating, she was not her normal sociable self and was trembling and hiding under the bed refusing to come out. My partner and I decided to take her to the emergency vet last night. They did all the checks and listened to her gut and said it was moving but extremely slowly. They decided to treat this as if it was full on stasis to try and completely stop it in its tracks. We were prescribed to give her a pain killer, an antibiotic, and a gut motility twice daily for the next five days and then feed her critical care 4-6 times daily for the next four days. It’s been a little under twenty four hours and since then she had a small liquid brown poop so of course I was horrified and called immediately. They told me it should be okay but if it happens 1-2 more times bring her in immediately with a stool sample. That was around 10 hours ago and she’s been okay since. She’s since stopped trembling, she’s received her medications twice since the visit (twelve hours between each dose) and has been getting fed critical care every four hours. She seems to be livening up slightly, a bit more alert, she’s still hiding under the bed but she’s in a relaxed position, ears look relaxed and her eyes are either squinted or close so I figure her medication is making her sleepy? She’s begun grunting again which she often does as she’s very vocal. I could be worried for no reason but I’m worried sick. How long does it take for the treatment to kick in and for your bun to get back to normal?
