         My rabbit is not pooping, eating and moving much. Since yesterday morning, I realized he hasn’t been touching his food (pellets & hay). I tried giving him his favourite treat (dried papaya) but he refused. 



        I went straight to the vet, the doctor checked my bun’s teeth and felt his tummy. She said “caecum doesn’t feel right.” I asked whether my bun’s bloated, but she said no. 



        My bun’s got SQ fluid at the vet yesterday, and I bought the Critical Care formula. I’ve been feeding it to him every 3 hours, but he strongly refuses to eat. (maybe he hates the taste? &#160 



        Today, He has urinated 3 times (darker colour than usual), pooped 2 cecotropes, but no sign of normal poops. 



        I gave him some cilantro (his another favourite), did eat!! but soon stopped. In the evening, I did see him eat ONE piece of dried papaya. He’s still not eating his pellets and hay. I don’t know whether he’s drinking..so I syringe feed him a bit today. 



        Vet didn’t tell me much, so I don’t know whether my bun has a blockage or GI stasis… 



        Is it okay to keep force feeding critical care even if he has GI stasis or ….blockage? 

        Are there any other medications that I can get from the pharmacy and try feeding it to my bun? 

        I heard aboutMetacam and metaclopromide.. will they help?  



        Anybody help please

        my bun’s six years old

        male – neutered

          Vibes for your little bun… Sounds like you have done every thing right so far… From what I have seen of this condition from others posts it can sometimes take a little while for everything to start moving normally… Make sure there is plenty of hay and water available and keep offering lovely fresh moistened greens. hopefully someone who has tackled this issue will come online soon and be able to answer your other questions.
