My rabbit is not pooping, eating and moving much. Since yesterday morning, I realized he hasn’t been touching his food (pellets & hay). I tried giving him his favourite treat (dried papaya) but he refused.
I went straight to the vet, the doctor checked my bun’s teeth and felt his tummy. She said “caecum doesn’t feel right.” I asked whether my bun’s bloated, but she said no.
My bun’s got SQ fluid at the vet yesterday, and I bought the Critical Care formula. I’ve been feeding it to him every 3 hours, but he strongly refuses to eat. (maybe he hates the taste?
 
Today, He has urinated 3 times (darker colour than usual), pooped 2 cecotropes, but no sign of normal poops.
I gave him some cilantro (his another favourite), did eat!! but soon stopped. In the evening, I did see him eat ONE piece of dried papaya. He’s still not eating his pellets and hay. I don’t know whether he’s drinking..so I syringe feed him a bit today.
Vet didn’t tell me much, so I don’t know whether my bun has a blockage or GI stasis…
Is it okay to keep force feeding critical care even if he has GI stasis or ….blockage?
Are there any other medications that I can get from the pharmacy and try feeding it to my bun?I heard aboutMetacam and metaclopromide.. will they help?
Anybody help please
Other info:
my bun’s six years old
male – neutered
