So I have a Holland Lop kit that would not eat yesterday and I could tell was in extreme pain. He was visably puffed up in the belly and tossing and turning in pain. I gave him some gas drops via eye dropper and then we went to a rabbit show for a good chunk of the day. Came home to find him alive but still in the same state. Gave as much of the baby gas drops as he would take in, and then checked on him this morning. Not much better. Won’t eat, continued with gas drops off and on and he is taking some in. Hadn’t had milk in 2 mornings and and won’t nurse, so tried some KMR this evening just to see if I could get some fluids in him. He took in some and some more baby gas drops. Finally pooped, which I hadn’t seen in a while. Was normal then yellow diarrhea. Hoping maybe this is a good sign his system is getting started again. Tried some more gas drops, and he’s more comfortable than before. No arching or tossing and turning. Either he’s just to the point that he’s almost gone or he’s getting some better and not so uncomfortable. What do you all think? He’s about 2 1/2 weeks old. I read that with true bloat it’s almost always fatal and there isn’t much that can be done but it definitely requires a vet. Also my very experienced friend said they can’t OD on the gas drops. Diarrhea was only once, not ongoing. Please share any similar experiences. This baby is a Chestnut, one of my favorite colors
