Aww, bless her! That's good to see. Lets hope she's on the road to recovery now.

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.

... she's still not eating much! And she's frequently grinding her teeth or moving her jaws. Any ideas?

the teeth grinding is a guaranteed sign shes in a lot of pain - take her to the vets asap tonight for pain meds and metoclapromide or whatever its called that helps their tummies work! also I wouldnt change her food that quickly. and it may be that the car journey stressed her on the monday and caused her to deteriorate. I really have to stress that you need to get her to the vets tonight, a rabbit in pain will not eat and will quickly die!

OMG, I'm worried now. She's been doing that grinding thing with her teeth since she had her teeth filed 3 weeks ago.... The car seemed to bother her more this week actually... I'm just frustrated that she seemed to get better then went to vets and got worse - I wonder if it's the antibiotic or even the car journey now...

She's very active - loves jumping around. Pooing fine. Weeing fine too. Just very picky with food; I'd really cheered up when she was eating again a week ago. A rabbit breeding friend of mine says her teeth could have grown back already...

Thanks for your ideas... feel free to add anymore.

Hope all your bunnies are bouncy...

did they give he any pain meds at her last visit or any metclapromide?
have u tried feeding her any apple twigs, mine love them.
my vet will put rabbits down if they grow spurs on their back teeth as unless their diet has had no hay, its unlikely to fix by itself. Is your vet very experienced with rabbits? it may be that her mouth is feeling uncomfortable now if they spurs grew very slowly and she was used to them. did they check her teeth again on Monday?

If she is jumping around ok, then I wouldnt be too worried, but teeth grinding and sitting in the corner looking fluffed up is a sign that your bunny needs to go straight to the vet.

She's not had pain meds - just the cattle antibiotic. Not tried apple twigs - just keeping giving her things she still will eat; weetabix, toast, fruit, veg, salad. She's barely touching pellets.

The vet said the teeth were long, didn't mentions spurs. They didn't check her teeth on Monday, no. She was more huddled up and sad looking last week before she seemed better. She still pees everywhere - finding that hard. Tried two different litter trays...

long?! hmmm that doesnt sound like much of a diagnosis, do you know of any specialist rabbit vets in your area? I think teeth are a big problem when they start to go wrong and need someone very experienced to tell you what the prognosis really is. you dont want her to suffer. but fingers crossed they will be able to help her.

Miffy never ever peed on the carpet, u can buy vet beds which are like puppy training pads for the floor, you might find them useful at the mo.

also have u read this, I know its quiet intense but it might shed some light RWAF: Dental Disease

Thanks - just looked at link...

Floor pads sound good!

Don't know specialist rabbit vet... but may need to find one.

I mean these kind of things Puppy Training Pads for House Breaking

where about are you based? you might not be too far from a good vet someone on the forum knows about. I've had 5 different vets as I have moved a lot and they've all been crap apart from my current one who is so good and explains things properly
