Good Day All,
Have a person I sold rabbits to 3 years ago call me ~ rabbits sick.
After much talking to find out the problem and a home visit, I think we have a poison problem that has caused gastrointestinal distress.
I read the hazard sheet on the grass seed and it looks to be the cause. He seeded a week ago.
Has anyone had a similar issue and advice?
I told him to massage tummy's, push water, flax seed oil initially, and simethicone.
Any other advice I can pass on?
They don't seem to be in pain, no teeth grinding or other signs.
He called Scott's they said supportive care.... what more?
Unfortunately, no poops.
Doe looked (to me) to have hours left to live.
Buck looked mildly lethargic, but no poops in the box he put them in.
Both took water and food from syringe willingly.
I did hear slight gurgles in bucks abdomen.
The third rabbit not showing symptoms yet. I told him to put her in pen and watch for poop and manners.
They were free roaming in the yard all the time and eating the seeds and new grass
