Hi everyone
My rabbit Cinnabun stopped eating Friday night. I immediately started giving belly massages and syringe feeding critical care with baby gas drops. By the next night he was able to start eating herbs a little bit and now he's eating and drinking all by himself just fine.
In the past when he's had gas I've syringe fed and he's bounced back by the next day all fine. However this time it seems different. I've noticed that when he lies down he will tooth grind only for a second but still. Also sometimes he'll eat a bit if he's food then sit hutched over for a minute before continuing. He also seems uncomfortable at times. He'll lie down then pop back up and furiously start digging. Cinnabun it's much of a digger except when he's upset.
Does anyone know what could be happening? The vets where I live are good but not the most rabbit savy at times. There are some good vets that work there and love rabbits but honestly its the luck of the draw on whether or not I'll get a vet that even cares. Maybe if anyone has any ideas about what could be the issue I could tell them to look for that?
And advice appreciated
