Re: Poorly bunny - not eating enough, losing weight.
Hmm, we're still not sure if she is on the road to recovery....
After her second cattle antibiotic this Monday she's slowed right down again on eating and we're gonna have to see what she eats today and consider reverting back to syringe feeding (we stopped over a week ago - last Wednesday). So worrying after the vet was so positive on Monday. Her eyes and nose have cleared - the sniffles and coughing is very rarely heard now.
Is it common for rabbits with such illnesses to improve in swings and roundabouts? Clover has loads of fresh salad, veg and fruit as well as weetabix and toast. We noticed that she'd slowed down on the pellets and got picky - so we changed them for those she was enjoying and she's just not bothering with them.
She gained weight after starting to eat - only 100g, but better than none. Any advice or similar experiences to share, or is it just the antibiotics putting her off? She has one more injection (her final of three) next Monday.
Cheers again for all your threads.
