  Bandit is being a problem child!
  
  So we were to the vet yesterday after Ban’s belly felt bloated and he passed a large impaction of poop. He had xrays that were fine, no blockages, so the vet prescribed Metacam (0.7 ML) once daily for 3 days and cisapride every 12 hours for 5 days. I started the drugs last night and I know his schedule got frigged up yesterday with going to the vet and then coming home and not having much of his bunny nap and today he was still a little out of sorts. He is eating and drinking (he never stopped) and he is also having more normal poo’s he never stopped pooping just had a decrease and different looking. Now last night and today he seems less active, as does his brother but not as bad ( Brothers scheduled got a little fooled up too) He looks dopey to me. Does anyone know if any of the drugs above would cause this behavior? I think he might be molting as he seems to have a pattern around his body.

  Metacam will make your rabbit dopey for a couple hours after administration. Wick gets quite sleepy after metacam. No experience with cisapride though.
