My rabbit has gurgling stomach noises when he drinks water. I think it’s nomal but I will defer to more experienced owners to respond to the simethicone and vet question. I recall my vet saying once that one of my rabbits “didn’t have enough stomach noises”, so I do know they are important because I believe they signal healthy bowel movements. If poop is non-existent, small, or misshapen, or cecotropes uneaten, or she is not consuming food or water and is hunched in corner or grinding teeth, those are signs which likely warrant a vet visit if they don’t improve in several hours.

It could be the rose petals. Rose petals is quite appropriate bunny food, and at three months, it’s time to start her on fresh veg anyway. You can stop her access to the roses for now though, since it seems she has a bit of a tummy upset.

A noisy tummy as a rule means gas. There should always be some noise from a bun’s tum, but not so loud as to be audible from a distance. Gas can be painful for rabbits and many bunny-owners (incl me) keep baby gas drops (simethicone) at home, because it often seems to help very well after just 20-30 minutes.

Since your bunny has been eating and drinking and pooping since, she’s probably not in pain. Baby gas drops should be quite sufficient. If she stops eating, it’s a lot more serious.

You can give her 0,5-1 ml gas drops every hour for 3 hours, then 0,5 ml every 2-3 hours. But if her appetite is good, you can just give her the one dose as a precaution.

Oh, that’s good to know about the distance thing, Bam. I realise I crouch down really close to my rabbits when they drink (no exaggeration) so that maybe explains why I am hearing some of the noises.
