Re: Poorly bunny - not eating enough, losing weight.
How cute - never knew you could bond females! Do they have to be neutered first? Bet the company is nice for them.
Clover's just been to the vets - they reckon the sniffles are caused by an infection related to her teeth. So we're carrying on with batryl and we now have something to clear her nose; that's what seems to be putting her off her food - she gets so blocked up she struggles to breath and eat and ends up spluttering. Back to the vets in 4 days for another check up... fingers crossed. Clover LOVES being in the house! |

Re: Poorly bunny - not eating enough, losing weight.

Re: Poorly bunny - not eating enough, losing weight.
Am a bit concerned that Clover's illness is making her mildly violent... think she's getting bored of the twice daily batryl and being syringe fed (she sometimes takes food out of our hands or off a spoon or if she's feeling better she even takes from her bowl). But yesterday she bit my partner on her shoulder... and she's getting jumpy and bad tempered with us...
Is there anything we're doing wrong? Kept rabbits for over fives years now and both buns became ill months apart from summer to now (different illnesses). We lost poor Violet as she became very ill quite quickly. So we have little experience of nursing poorly buns... |

Re: Poorly bunny - not eating enough, losing weight.
She might have started linking you with the nasty tasting medicine she has to have. Give her a favourite treat each time she has to have the medicine if she'll have it or lots of cuddles to say sorry. Mine usually get grumpy when they've had to have medicine.
