Either there is a blockage, or something is making your bunny stop eating, which results in no poops. A blockage can only be helped by a vet, as far as I know. Not eating could be GI stasis, feeling sick for a different reason, pain, gas, not enough fiber, or to much sugar. If bunny is not eating, I would syringe feed critical care, or crushed pellets mixed with water. If gas meds and belly runs are helping, then it would seem to be the cause.

You just need a larger syringe if you are going to mush/ blend the pellets into a critical care-type product. You can cut the tip off a large syringe to make feeding easier. Last time I tried this, it was a disaster because my large syringe wouldn’t feed it through. I also think a vet visit is in order. How long has there been no poop?

A good size syringe I found is the 35ml puppy feeding syringe. It helps to grind the pellets in a coffee grinder.

Probiotics also help. You can find benebac on Amazon. It has helped Lancelot tremendously. Since he became ill with E.Cuniculi in June/July, he has not eaten any hay at all, other than the oxbow natural science hay tablets I give him. So I periodically syringe feed him critical care, and I use benebac. Hay is best for restoring belly balance, but Benebac can’t be underestimated.

Good news! You can give her gas meds (simethicone) for a day or too longer, just in case, sort of preventive if you can’t get to the vets. Belly rubs still if she’ll let you, won’t do harm and keep her mobile, play with her or call her over for cuddles. It all helps to keep the transit in motion.

What did the vet say ?

Did the vet offer any advice at all? If not, i would consider calling another vet for advice

Give baby gas drops, 1 ml per hour for 3 hours, then 0,5 ml every 2 hours.
Give gentle tummy rubs. Try to make her move around. Those things will help the intestines move and push their contents in the right direction. Try to give her water by syringe so her stomach/intestinal contents get hydrated and hopefully more viscous.
Keep her warm, fex by sitting her in your lap so she can absorb body warmth from you. It’s also comforting for her to be in physical contact with another living being.
Those are the things I can think of that you can do at home. Baby gas drops are not very expensive and can be bought at Walmart f ex.

You could also buy ranitidine (zantac), you can buy it over the counter for humans dissolve the tablet in water and give some to your bun, the dose would depend on weight but it helps with gut motility. Bramble is frequently on zantac but his comes from the vet so I have no experience with the tablets but I know it can be done you would just need to work out the dose correctly.

Is she still eating?

“Peeking around the corner” lol. We’ve all done that, knowing categorically that they don’t do what we want when we’re watching….
Glad she’s feeling a bit better… Does she like bananas? I conceal meds in a slice of banana.

That she gets mad is a great sign. A really sick bun doesn’t have the strength to fight.
I agree about the Zantac (ranitidine). For a 3 kg bun 1/10 to 1/8 of a 150 mg pill is good. There’s quite a span between harmful and therapeutic dose, so dosage doesn’t have to be super-accurate. You can crush it between the blades of two spoons, mix with water and feed it by syringe. Don’t get the effervescent tablets, just “normal” pills.

Teeth grinding is a sign of pain. I hope that you can find a rabbit savvy vet around you, because your rabbit is in clear discomfort.

Okay, good that he’s at the vet now. I hope it’s something that can be fixed easily. Best of luck and keep us posted!

LOL !! Welcome to the team BOB !! LOL
An infection on anyone’s privates would make us ratty !!
Glad to hear all is OK.
You’re on poop patrol now!! Like us all

I wonder if you could ask BB to change your BB name….. or keep it for sentimental sake….

Bob! How cute =)

No pee for days would definitely make him really, really sick, so my guess he’s peeing somewhere. Look closely.

A bunny with a urinary tract infection tend to pee often, but very little at a time. You often see them straining to pee. Did the vet give him any meds? What type of infection on his privates does he have, did they say?

I’m so glad to hear that Bob is doing better and both pooping and peeing now

It’s not terribly uncommon for bunnies to undergo a sex change either

Yay, it’s really funny how excited we bunny owners can get at poop and pee, but congrats all the same! ^_^

That doesnt’ sound like a smart comment from the vet. I’d keep up with the benebac. The directions on the packet have worked very well for my bunnies. I dont’ give it to them regularly just when Lancelot has belly trouble. He has a sensitive belly. The other 3 are always healthy. The packet will tell you how much per body weight for day 1, 3, 5, 7, and then once a week. But by day 7, you should see much improvement.

It’s a bit odd that a vet in this day and age hasn’t heard of benebac. Probiotics are really big right now with both humans and pets. A good, sturdy and diverse gastrointestinal microbiota is extremely important for our and our pets’ health.

I’d still give it to him. You can’t overdose a probiotic, the “surplus” gets pooped out “unused”. But it’s of course better for your wallet not to overdose.

Some poop irregularities are to be expected after a bout like this, and while he’s on antibiotics, since antibiotics kill off some of the intestinal bacteria.

How is Bob now? Any better? I am shocked at the fact that the first vet refused to see him! I’m pretty sure most vets allow some sort of payment plan if money is an issue, that’s very irresponsible of them! I’m following this thread with my fingers crossed for him. You could try putting him on your lap, see if that encourages him to pee :p Seriously though I hope he is peeing okay now, I’d love an update. You seem to be doing a brilliant job of looking out for him so pat yourself on the back please!

Glad to hear he is doing better.

I think it’s so awful how often we hear of vet being rude.
