Hello!
I’m a little worried about my bun, Mochi. I’ve had her for about two years and this is the first time something like this has happened. It all started yesterday, Mochi was doing great in the morning. She was eating and running around, being her playful self. However at around 4pm she started just laying around (which I assumed at the time was completely normal). I figured she tired herself out and now shes resting. However, she stopped eating.... completely lost interest in her Kale and even in her treats!
This is where I started worrying.... She did not eat or drink for 9 hours. I was already a crying mess but at 1am she picked up her Kale and started eating it. It was only a little bit, but I saw a little bit of hope. I started feeding her little bits of hay and she ate it as well. When I fed her some water from her bowl, she drank a little bit too.
I ended up going to sleep, waking up every hour to check on her and she seemed better, at least she was moving in and out of her cage which was improvement! At 7am I let her roam the house and she did as if nothing was wrong! She was running around and sniffing everything like usual, however, when i tried feeding her hay she was reluctant. She would take little bites and then run off. When i tried feeding the pellets she did not even want to try and eat those. So i ended up giving her some fresh Kale and Carrots, which she happily ate and finished. It is 8am now and she bunny flopped onto her side once. She also is now laying on her tummy with her legs sticking out. I think she is resting, at least i am assuming she is.
However i heard her grinding her teeth very faintly while she was laying down which is why i am still very concerned... Could this be early signs of GI stasis or maybe her teeth are bothering her?? Some insight would be amazing because I’m just a worrier and i often result to the worst possible scenario!
