Hello, I am new to the forum and I wander if anyone has any ideas on this.
Snowy has been in good health up to now he went to the vets the other day because his eating and pooing had decreased, the vet couldn't find anything wrong with him his teeth looked fine and his stomach was fine no blockages, so to get his gut working he put snowy on fiberplex and zantac, he was on them for 2 days when he stopped eating altogether and started losing weight so he was admitted to the vet hospital while there not only was he still on fiberplex and zantac they gave him meloxidyl,maxolon and panacur and feeding him oxbow 3 times a day. Alot of medication for a rabbit.He has been on those now for 3 days showing small improvement he is trying to eat small amounts of hay, carrots, and now passing a few poos.
The vet did a blood test and it came back ok except one of the liver enzymes was on the low side the vet said this is due to him not feeling well and there is nothing to worry about.
I also am wandering if this has been brought on because I had bought a baby male rabbit into the house and snowy has just got stressed over him.
Has anyone had this problem with their rabbit or have any ideas.
Thanks
