Getting really worried

[luna21]

Today Molly hasnt had anything to eat or drink,she has not pooped or peed. I've been syringing water into her every 10minutes, she has been refusing even bananas and cheerios which is herfavorite, I've been trying to give her some petromalt but she won'ttake it and has fought me so I don't want to put her through anymorestress than I have to. Im now trying to syringe some pumkin into herbut she wont take it. She just sits there in the corner of her cage andis grinding her teeth alittle bit, she's also been hiding so i cant getto her so Ive been resulting to taking the whole cage appart.I really think this is G.I stasis, and Im really scared, shes just notlooking good. I have already called my vet but shes not in so im optedto take her in to the emerg clinic

Good luck at the vet's.

Do you have any baby gas meds handy? Those are always good to relieveany gas bubbles. Also tummy massages can help break up any gas orobjects that are stuck in there.

Here's a goodthread on syringing food/medicine to your bunny:

Good advice. The gas meds have saved me many a vetbill! I always grab the simethicone first. Ifthey're not better an hour or two after the dose, then I know I have aproblem.

Glad she's better!
