Rabbit hardly eats anything?
Hello 🙂
Our rabbit (11 years old) hasn't been eating properly for a week. He was always a good eater. He runs to the food, but leaves it or only nibbles a little. Last week I went to the vet; he gave him two digestive aids, but it didn't help. He doesn't look like he's in pain. His stool is small and hard. His stomach is large, but not hard, considering he hardly eats. I massage him several times a day, and then it starts gurgling. What could it be? The other rabbits have been eating less since yesterday, too. We haven't changed his food.
Thanks 🙂

The small, hard baskets are also called cravings and come from the low food intake.
I’d give a cot sample to the veterinarian and let him control yeast and coccidia.
Offer him his favorite leaks. Something he has to eat.
Is your vet specializing in rabbits? Such veterinarians are known at the addition “For Pets”.
“We didn’t change anything on food”
What’s going on?
If it is swallowed in the normal case of the stomach, did the veterinarian look at the teeth? Did he give them a feeding recommendation or the like?
The teeth were controlled, all right. To eat there are Kohlrabi leaves, carrots green, some cabbage – which they have always tolerated, they don’t get more of it, salad, waste. Vegetables, branches and leaves, once a day dried flowers and herbs.
Among other things, he got Herbi Colan 2x daily, but everything unchanged.

Here you have some plant species with certain active substances if you have the possibility to collect this:)
What makes me a little stubborn now that the others eat less? Did you get the vet a sample of three days? I’d definitely talk to the vet again if they don’t eat normally again today.
The feeding would be great:) Try also to offer fennel, which calms the stomach (I think you know how to feed it slowly?)… Sab Simplex (if you get in every apotheke) also helps against stomach problems and black cumin oil (daily 1-3 drops on salad zb) is also such a cure.
Of course it can also be at the proud age:-/
Please find a veterinarian who does not specialize in small animals, but in pets. They know each other with rabbits.
“If it’s old, what can you do? Must be sneaked in”
Dsa you have to discuss with the veterinarian as long as he is fit and has no pain, of course.
Thank you very much for the answers 🙂 I also give Fenchel, who unfortunately he does not like to eat. I’ve been thinking about the sab simplex, I’ll talk to the TA later. It’s very strange.. He didn’t want a cot sample last time.
If it’s old, what can you do? Do you have to sneak him in?
Go to a rabbit-experienced vet. First, X-ray images should be created from the jaw and the stomach. Easy viewing or scanning does not bring much.
Ask for this forum: https://www.kaninchenforum.de
They are experienced! AND!
There’s someone who’s likely to tell you who’s in your opposite idea of rabbits!
I have some, not long.
But… Two years ago a hamster lady, the TA examined everything, chair, blood, it was clear what it was but the question was how bad.
If yours says NÖÖÖ doesn’t have to, and even though it’s clear, it must be taken….
Because the TA doesn’t give everything!
He just gives on good luck medis…
It’s already bad if a rabbit isn’t eating anything…
And…
I know you’re being treated stupidly in forums if you don’t do everything right now.
I haven’t experienced that with these people!
You help and give tips!
Question: How about hay and straw?
The TA said at the second appointment, it can be good that it is old. His digestion was very lame. We got some media. It only eats Kohlrabi leaves, carrots green and dry fodder (notice to eat). He picks up a little more, but not as before, he’s always fed everything. He doesn’t touch hay anymore
So I’ve got rabbits and two cats before.
I still know how everyone in the net has been vaccinated with me because I fed so much dry food but… honestly?!
My one cat was completely thin, from nature, and if he wants only the dry, even though he knows from the beginning to the other… this is ding!
And… I think it’s bad that the alleged rabbit lovers are so sniffing when you don’t pretend to make something perfect…
On the sofa lazy the unhealthy and sweet blow in but no matter what about the animal! It needs to eat nuuur healthy…
Pff! Animals may sin as well, if they are as stubborn as we do!
And if there’s such a tricky one that needs it then it’s so and that’s good and right!
I want to experience a rabbit owner who feeds himself as perfectly as the animals are supposed to have….pfff
And are you still so calm?? Rabbits must eat regularly! Let the animals investigate! Everything has to be examined! Something’s wrong. Teeth, stomach, intestine.
No, as I was written at the TA and try everything else that worked. We’ve got a TA appointment for later, I guess I can ask anyway.
Don’t get angry with people like that! It’s good you ask!
The veterinarian does not seem to be very competent. And whoever you don’t know about rabbits whose art-friendly attitude and diet, you don’t know what diseases they can get and that it can get serious quickly, you shouldn’t hold.
O M G… It is able to write a clear text despite the need.
That can’t be…
This can only mean you’re incapable…
I think you have suffered emotionally directly with the rabbits…
It would be nice if you would write your “helpful” answers more tangible and less emotional and engaging!
Otherwise you’re bad.
Something’s wrong!
But… so far was the questioner too, so she asks…^^”
Okay, I’m still reading your comments here.
Like your sentence: If you don’t go with… then you shouldn’t keep.
If you don’t know about this page or how to help you, you shouldn’t try to help…
young… I want to say so much, and yet it wouldn’t do anything.
well written!
I am annoyed when you need typps and then such people come… > <
That’s what you do as a responsible animal owner. In this case, the veterinarian has given a bad food recommendation.
But here you can find out about cat food, although you should know something like this as a holder…
I’ve had it for a while.
Since I look at the animals regularly, I notice that, otherwise I would not ask:’D
As mentioned several times, I was already with the vet. Some media also need to work. And I’d like to draw a different subject if you don’t know. I am interested and inquired for my animals:) beautiful day still!
You can also have taken the Elf-year-old when He was older. Each holder should regularly look closely at his animal. Rabbits do not show just how many other animals are when you feel bad. And that’s been like this for a week, doesn’t speak for an attentive animal owner.
These are the best answers :’D
Yes, of course, because my animal is ill and I ask again before it goes back to the TA, I shouldn’t have to keep it:D
If I had no idea and would not feed it correctly, it would certainly not be 11 years;) Animals, if you don’t know, can also get sick in spite of the kind attitude. Otherwise, you’d have to take off your animal.
