yesterday my rabbit acted completely normal, and this morning she ate her breakfast like she was starving (like she always does) and begging me for pellets. then maybe an hour later, i realized she was hiding in her box that she only goes in in the evenings for her naps. i thought it was weird so i tried giving her a pellet and she ate it, then an hour later she was still in there and now refusing food. i gave her gas medicine 3 times, by the 2nd dose she was running around and eating like normal. i fell asleep for a few hours and now she's sick again. hiding in her box, refusing food. i just gave her some gas meds again, but i dont know what else to do. i think this is because she's shedding really bad.
i called the only exotic vet i know near me thats actually knowledgeable about rabbits and they dont have an emergency vet that will see rabbits and cant get me an appointment until the end of september. i dont know what to do, im scared she'll get worse this weekend and i wont be able to find another exotic vet that can get her an appointment.
she did use her litterbox after she got better the first time, and her poop was smaller than usual. then i found one piece that was very big in her cage but im not sure when its from.
is there anything else i can do to help her? should i start critical care? i have fluids leftover from when she had gi stasis last and the person from the vet i called told me i can give her some, but i dont know if its to that point yet where i should.
