  Hello im not sure how this works but im a bit desperate and im just hoping you know what to do. I have about a 2 month old rabbit that has really been pooping much and wont eat either. I took him to the vet and was given to medicines. I gave them to him yesterday and ive massaged his belly and syringe fed him a bit by dissolving pellets as the vet said. At one point yesterday night he started eating normally on his own and i believe he pooped but it was hard to tell because i have a second rabbit. I thought he was fine but this morning i noticed he hadnt pooped again and he wouldnt eat much i massages its belly again and i could hear sort of bubbles in his stomach. The vet is closed today, and i dont know what to do anymore, im afraid of feeding him with a syringe because i dont want his pain to increase if there is a blockage please help

  You can try going to the store and getting some gas relief for infants. The stuff that has simethicone in it. It is safe for rabbits as I have used it on my rabbits and it should relieve some of that pain in his stomach that is causings him to not want to eat. 1cc (20mg/ml suspension) can be given orally as often as every hour for 3 hours and then 1cc every 3-8 hours. You could also try to look for an emergency vet in your area. Not sure if you ar from the states but there are a lot of emergency 24 hour VCAs that will take you on short notice as a walk in without an appointment.
