Today, Hubert didn't want to eat and I decided to purchase some liquid pediatric simethicone because that's what all the rabbit sites say to do. I called our emergency vet to ask about the dosage. Their rabbit vet was not in tonight, so I was given a number to some exotic vet in another state. I called and asked them what dosage to give and they said not to ever give simethicone. What??? :? :? :?
Then she ranted at me for not bringing him in to them even though I am not even in the same state, heh...
Anyway, Hubert is fine now so I don't know what was up earlier today. He is running around, eating, drinking, pooping, peeing, all that good stuff.
So, for future reference, is simethicone OK to give or not -- and if so, how do you figure out what dosage to give?
This is what we got, except we got a bottle half the size of this one:

Hubert weighs 4-5 pounds.
Thanks for any help!
