Our little Himalayan cross Albus has all of a sudden stopped eating as much hay. He went to a bunny boarding while we were on holiday, and since he came back it's been a real struggle to get him eating his timothy hay. He has absolutely no reservations about eating pellets or fresh greens, as he's been wolfing them down, but just doesn't seem interested in the hay.
We've taken him to the vet and were told that it sounded like a bit of stress-induced anorexia, so we were given Ranitidine and Emeprid to dose him with three times a day. The trouble is that trying to give him the oral suspensions and taking him to the vet seem to be stressing him out more as we have to restrain him to give him the meds and take him in the car to the vets, which results in him sitting in his carrier, shaking in fear.
He's also producing less poo than normal, but still going regularly. We've been giving him more odd the stuff that he does want to eat to make sure everything keeps ticking over. Does anyone have any ideas on how we can get our little boy eating again?
