I gotupnow to feed the bunnies and Smokies didn't get up and help herself. So I offered her some parsley no intrest in that either. She wont take a treat.

I have some simitcone that I could give her. Thinking of calling the vet.

 

[Luvr of Wabbits and Polar Bears]

This was how I found her.

 

[Luvr of Wabbits and Polar Bears]

I gave her 1ml of Oval and a bit of tummy rubs. She's now on my bed. She's peed once and eaten maybe 1 centimeter of hay.

She has a bit of orchard grass, parsley and a couple of pellets with her. Nothing seems to intrest her.

I'd just keep up the ovol 1ml/hr for 3 doses, plus syringe her some water if she won't drink. After the 3 doses, if she's still not feeling well, you can start force-feeding and look into pain meds.

Could it have been the oat hay, or the treat?

 

[Luvr of Wabbits and Polar Bears]

It could of been the treats. The 2 boys seem to be fine.

If I have to I'll take her up to the vet. I already cancelled my plans.

 

[Luvr of Wabbits and Polar Bears]

She's has just started to eat the parsley. Yes. Maybe now I can go to office and get some studying done.

 

[tonyshuman]

That sounds good--maybe she's getting annoyed at all the attention and some time alone will help! I know it's hard to not watch them nonstop when they're not well, but it can help. Benjamin went through a bout of this a few weeks ago and it was in the middle of the night. It was nearly impossible to go to sleep for the hour in between doses, but I think giving him some alone time helped.

 

[Luvr of Wabbits and Polar Bears]

She's back in with the boys now. She just stood there and did nothing. I tossed some veggies at her and she ignored them. She now went back to her box.

Should I give her another dose of OVAL?

 

[tonyshuman]

I would, until you're sure she's eating and pooping again.

 

[Luvr of Wabbits and Polar Bears]

I how have Smokies set up in my room in a cage with her box lots of hay and a bowl of water with parsley. I put a blanket over half the cage so she can be alone.

 

[Luvr of Wabbits and Polar Bears]

How long do I wait it out before I call the vet?

 

[Luvr of Wabbits and Polar Bears]

Made a call to Vet, there in the lab. Left a message for 1 to call me back.
I just don't think this is gas.

 

[tonyshuman]

Ok, thinking of you guys. Have you syringe fed her any water, baby food, pumpkin? Pain meds? Of course the vet's the best way to help her out.

 

[Luvr of Wabbits and Polar Bears]

I don't have any pain meds/baby food/pumpkin. I've never need it.
I'll give her some water now.

Good luck with this. I hope Smokies starts eating soon. Come on bunny

 

[Luvr of Wabbits and Polar Bears]

Update on Smokies. She's eatten more Parsley, no hay. Still hasn't pooped. I gave her 1 1/2cc of water an hour ago, thats all she'd take.
Still no call from the vet

 

[tonyshuman]

If she's eating, she's still not feeling totally stopped up, so that is good.

 

[degrassi]

Just wanted to say I'm thinking of you and Smokies. Hope she starts feeling better soon.

 

[Happi Bun]
