Posted by Melony on 21/3/2007, 12:10 am, in reply to "Flopsy is Sick..." I'll see what I can dig up in terms of a vet but in the meantime keep up her fluids, make sure she has lots of hay available, keep her warm if she seems shocky and try giving a dose of simethicone. If she's really not looking at all well you could also give her 1/4 of an asprin for pain. Pain relief is really important as rabbits don't seem to deal very well with it. The simethicone is inert so you can overdose her on it. There's a drug dose calculator here http://homepage.mac.com/mattocks/morfz/rx/drugcalc.html to work out how much asprin to give her. In desperate straits I've even used nurofen. There's also a pdf on how to give tummy rubs here http://fig.cox.miami.edu/Faculty/Dana/ileus.pdf Most of all keep her close to you and if need be syringe water to her. Good luck!

Did she have a whole banana? If so it might have messed her digestive system up a bit.
