no what is that she gave me some green stuff that i have to put in water and feed her is that it if not what is it will see if can get it. She seem a bit perkier today she has had a drink and was out of her box for a while this morning hnd had pooed which is good too am still just hoping and we will see as time goes on hoping she will be ok her eyes seem briter to xxxxxx
Kepp her hay up too as it is easy on her tummy, you can syringe her a little probiotic yoghurt it will just keep her gut boosted and is cheaper than the paste the vets give, my rabbits hated it :lol:
Glad that your wee bunny is a bit brighter and hope she makes a full recovery soon.
Unicorn is the 'rabbit expert' and will keep you right. :D
No expert just learning like the rest :lol:
Aw you're too modest Unicorn!lol
what are her poo like? that is a very good indication of a bunnies health.

fingers crossed for you.
The most important thing is that she eats, it doesn't need to be much but you must get her eating. One a rabbits stomach stops moving you will not get her back. Even try her with some vegetable puree babyfood.
Do the vets have critical care? It is a food for small furries full of good things to keep their tummies moving.
Try her with some dried wheetabix too that can get then interested or even a little digestive biscuit.
Sending 'Get Well' vibes for snowball xxx

think that may be the stuff she gave me called recovery she is pooing not much but at least some will deff get some puree baby food thank for you advice she seems to be back to her grumpy self so fingers crossed x
Glad to hear it, that will be what the vet has given i think. The weather is not helping, when it is up and down it throws them off their way, I am seeing it with mine. They lose condition quickly and feel quite boney over their back after even a brief period of illness so once she is back on her feet a wheetabix here and there will help to build her up.
