Thank you for your reply.

Last night her ears got cold so I massaged them and found her a heating pad. She kept hopping to a certain spot in the kitchen which was out of everyone’s sight, but she stopped that after I placed her on the heating pad and covered her with a light cloth. After her ears got warm again, she sat there for a few more minutes then came over to me to get a few bites of food, rubbed my nose with hers and gave me a few kisses. She spent the remainder of the night on the pad and hopping around every now and again to say hi to my husband, my dog, and I. She started eating a thicker paste of the Critical Care out of a spoon, which was exciting for us.

This morning she wanted nothing to do with food, but I was able to get her to take her metacam as well as a very small amount of pedialyte. She still wouldn’t drink on her own, and would only eat if it’s from our hand. Instead of taking the syringe of food, she opted to hop out of her open pen and slowly hop around the living room. It was clear her energy levels were very low. We had an important errand to run today, and unfortunately it took about three hours. However, before we left, my husband was able to get her to eat 2.5 servings of her Critical Care. She wouldn’t eat it out of the spoon at first, but after the first serving or so, she finally came around to the thicker portions. We observed her for a while longer and she looked a lot better. Her dosage of metacam was a few hours late, so I’m wondering if that’s why she didn’t want to eat this morning. I was kind of hoping she didn’t need it because of the side effects, but since my husband forgot to give it to her late last night and I was asleep it became obvious that she most likely does need it.

We just got back from our errand and I decided to give her a thick serving which she gobbled up out of the spoon. We made her another even thicker serving because she was looking around for food and sniffed her alfalfa, but then came back to me looking for more which I gave her. I also had some spring greens with me since they’re soft and after the second serving of Critical Care, she was ready to start munching it down. She can’t hold it up like she used to and the stems seem to be too much, but I’m so happy that she’s starting to eat her solids.

I’m glad your bunny made a swift recovery, and if she keeps this up, ours might too.

This just in, she’s now eating stems.

I’ve been trying. We’re first time rabbit owners so this is a whole new ballgame for us. We couldn’t get a good estimate of her age besides her being around 1-2 months of age when found, maybe older. She seems very trusting of us, which is why I assume she takes her medicine so well. :p Like we’re her second mother or something. I originally called a wildlife refuge when I found them because of her mothers coloring, but too many things didn’t add up, like Bellamy being blonde. So I then looked at shelters, and none of them seemed like a good fit. I want to do what’s best for her, and I’d rather not learn the hard way again. The rocking chair is now bunny-proofed, and since we have kids, the rest of the house is too.

I apologize for the super long replies. I feel like a new mom all over again. These last few hours have been a complete turnaround in her behavior and willingness to do things so I’m a bit more scatterbrained than usual, but with joy. She has eaten so much! And isn’t slumped over in a sad state. Now to try and get her reintroduced to her hays and pellets. Any tips? Or should I call the vet?
