I don't like to leave them more than 12 hours since they last ate, in normal circumstances I get them to the vets just as soon as I can after I know they aren't well, though obviously that might not be possible today Crying or Very sad

She definitely needs to be kept as warm as possible and I note you've done syring feeding some warm water (also what I'd do) to keep the contents of her stomach hydrated, I wouldn't syringe feed food until a vet can confirm there's no blockage.

Definitely vets as soon as possible and water and warmth in the meantime - do you know when she last ate?

Has she weed or pood that you know of?

not sure if she weed or pooed as she lives with her sister briony outside so it difficult to say.she feels her normal temp.at the moment i'm only giving her warm water and trying to temp her to eat.just mixed up some ss with hot water so waiting for it to cool.its swings and round abouts as if i bring them in briony will get stressed out so doing regular visits to hutch.going to try and ring vet but i know that the possibilities that its the pdsa that will be opened and had bad experiences in the past around half nine this morning she ate

update i've just pushed a bowl of water under her nose and shes taken some then took her self into the bedroom.Bri is laid with her so at least she keeping her warm

Thinking of Connie.... And you.... I would say vets too if things haven't improved in the morning. Warm water is excellent idea. x

What a shame for you. Gloria sometimes has spells like this and thankfully, they pass pretty quickly. She will be ill, then either sort it out herself or I take her to the vet, then it is as if nothing happened. Such a worry.
