Not Eating

[Cocoa]

I know how important it is for bunnies to be eating all the time so I have been syringe feeding her. Every hour she gets one syringe full. Two hours ago I gave her some mylicon. Do you know whats wrong? I was worried the stress from people ringing the door bell constantly on Halloween caused this. If you think the vet is necessary I will make an appointment

How long has it been since she ate something of her own accord? How long since you’ve seen poop? You can give her Mylicon again, she can have that every hour for three hours. o.5-1 ml is a suitable dose.

Have you seen any improvement after the mylicon? Can you get her to move around? Are her ears very cold?

I know that’s many questions, but they are important.

I second all of bam’s questions. I will note that Wick will go upwards of 6-8 hours without eating, but that’s because it’s his sleeping time; however, if it’s a time your rabbit usually is eating, this is very significant.

She is actually eating now thankfully. It was actually an hour or two later than I normally feed her because I overslept. I am giving her another dose just to be safe

Oh, I’m very glad to hear that =)

Right after I posted that she stopped eating and started being really lethargic. We went back to the vet and she thinks its intestinal parasites. She prescribed pain meds, treatment for the parasites, and something else. I forgot what all it was. She also gave me a packet of critical care. Lily is now eating and is back to her normal self

[Bam]

Oh =( Good she’s on meds now! Get well now (((((Lily)))))

Is she still doing okay?

[Cocoa]

Yes she is doing much better now. We will be back to the vet soon

[LittlePuffyTail]

Glad to hear it.
