  So i just moved from NJ to MI. Long car ride. Well i had to put woo in her little travel cage that sat beside me the whole ride. One of the 1st things i did in the new place is set up her pen. Well last time she had a big move like this she was extreamly shy and skittish for the 1st day, and she didnt know me at the time so she wasent all that comfortable with me yet. After a few days she started eating and whatnot again. This time i think is worse.
  She hasn’t eaten or drank in alittle iver a day sofar. She will bairly move and seems exreamly weak. She has pooped alittle, but only a few super small pellets. Ive been massaging her belly and it seems like she has alot of gas but no poop im going right now to get an enema to hopfully break up anything in there. Was also thinking to getting a syringe to force some water in her.
  Is there anything else invould do, try, feed her to help the situation.
  The move has unfortunately wiped me out financially so a vet is like last resort…which im starting to feel is the case.
  Please. Any help or advice is strongly appreciated.

  If she has gas, some infant simethicone could be helpful to her. The fact that she hasn’t eaten or had anything to drink in over a day is very dangerous, and that really does call for a vet visit. Do you have a rabbit savvy vet lined up in your new place? Perhaps the vet would make payment arrangements or he or she might participate in the Care Credit program, where you pay with a credit card and pay it off in installments with no interest. I think that has to be set up ahead of time, though.
  
  Have you offered Woo all of her favorite greens and fruit, to entice her? You can dampen them too, to get some fluid in her, Do you have Critical Care to feed to her? You can also soak pellets and syringe feed her that, even mixing it with a little bit of jarred baby food or canned plain pumpkin. But it does sound like she needs to see a vet and get some fluids and whatever meds the vet deems necessary.
  
  I hope that she will be okay and start eating.
