The vet didn't really "diagnose" him with a cold. That's my goofy wording, lol. He listened to his lungs, but said they sound clear, so he doesn't think it's respiratory. But because of the runny nose (A little bit tinged yellow, he said it could hint at a virus or infection?) he decided to put him on antibiotics. He's on Cipro, is this a good one?
I made the dosage of critical care much smaller and he ate all of it this morning. I'll try the pumpkin or baby food too to make sure he's getting an accurate dose each time.
He isn't eating his pellets, either. :? He's usually a pellet hound. I saw him nibble a few after he had the critical care like maybe it bumped his appetite a bit. But he gets a 1/2cup of pellets each evening around 8pm and they're usually gone by noon the next day. I measured his pellets and there's at least a 1/3cup left.
But I did give him his veggies (Romaine lettuce, a couple baby carrots, a leave of sage) for breakfast and he nibbled them. I gave him a small slice of banana and a cube of apple and he ate those right up. As well as a couple dandelion leaves from the yard (No pesticides, washed and frozen to make sure there's no insects.).
Do bunnies get like people, where if they're stuffed up and can't taste food, they might lose their appetite? He's really enthusiastic about the sweets and the critical care (Which I guess might be sweet?). I haven't seen him eating much hay, but we're still trying to teach him that hay is food because when he came to us, he'd only had crappy pellets. He's on Oxbow timothy hay, but I heard that alfalfa is sweeter, so maybe I could pick some up to tempt him into eating?
