Re: Rabbit not drinking
Hiya, oh poor little bunny.
The prognosis is usually pretty good though with assisted feeding and fluids.
So i take it clinically shes stable but just has paralysis? Its commonly caused by lack of potassium (which they can check through a blood test) or Vit E, so a vitamin injection containing these is also a good idea.
Some people dont believe in 'floppy bunny syndrome' because they dont believe its an actual diagnosis, it just means theres no obvious cause for the paralysis.
Makesure they rule out e cuniculi, infection with pasteurella or a neurological problem too if potassium levels are normal.
