I had to feed critical care this week and I also found the instructions a little unclear. If the dr’s office said to feed in 2 to 3 hours I would do so tonight. You’ll want to go by the dose instructions on the package. I’m not sure if yours has the same dose as mine (if all flavors are the same dose?) but you’ll need to decide how many times per day you think you’ll be feeding and then adjust the dose accordingly. More often is probably better from strictly a gut perspective but it can be upsetting for the bunny to be force fed so you may choose to do it less often. For a 7 lb rabbit you want about 9 tbsp per day so if you are feeding 4x per day you would probably want to mix about 2 tbsp with enough water so it isn’t too thick and do that amount at each meal. Did they give you a good syringe for feeding?

Hopefully her meds work and she starts eating soon. If she regains her appetite and is pooping you can stop using the critical care unless her vet says otherwise. If she is eating but not as much as normal you might want to continue with critical care but at a lower dose.

This type of digestive issue isn’t super uncommon in rabbits and there isn’t always a clear cause that they can pinpoint but if she just stopped eating then you got the meds started early which is great. The earlier the better for recovery!

However I’m a little confused about the antibiotics. What antibiotic was she given? Did the vet have a reason to think she has a bacterial infection? Infections can cause them to stop eating but in my personal experience we’ve had stasis 7 times and only 1 of those was related to an infection so I’m just wondering if they said they found an infection? I suggest getting benebac to give her as well because the antibiotics can kill off the gut bacteria that she needs and that will help replace them.

Edit: since you said this was an emergency vet, if you have a regular vet I suggest calling them tomorrow to go over the medications and instructions to make sure they are on the same page.

How is she feeling this morning? The dribbled urine does help explain the reason for the antibiotic.

I’m glad to hear she took some greens! Eating anything at all is a positive sign.

Meds sound great. Cyproheptadine is an antihistamine appetite stimulant. I had it myself as a child due to severe cat allergy. Metoclopramide is a gut stimulant. Sulfa-thrimeth is great for bact problems in the GI tract. Metacam is a non steroid anti inflammatory drug, pretty much like ibuprofen for hooms.

Sometimes we do need to put our trust in the Higher Powers. When we do that, we are able to discern between things that are beyond our control and things that we ourselves can remedy.

I know what you mean about not getting her seen over the weekend. Ever since covid its been like that here. Try to keep her warm and give her fluids continously. This could save her and if it doesnt, its thtough no fault of yours.
