Bungle is poorly

Cross posted from another forum for advice ....

Hi, my conti Bungle is not well went out to feed them this morning and found squidgey poo EVERYWHERE! The bit in the covered run looked worse as the rain drives in, the bits in the closed in kennel were cow patish. I know yesterday he helped himself to some of the babies excell Jn & dwarf when I was cleaning them out so am hoping thats what it is.

I let him out for a run around the wet grass to clean him up a little then put him back in the kennel & run once I'd cleaned it and covered the whole floor with hay. I've managed to get him to eat some blackberry leaves and he's looking a little more alert, he wants lots of cuddles though poor mite

Nushka his wife is absolutely fine.

Anything more I should do? I'll be in all day to keep an eye on him.

Thanks

Edit, I've got metaclop, recovery & baytril but can't see any of these helping.... so not giving any

often the "junior" versions of feed are a lot richer for babies and lactating does. it's possible that could have caused the excess caecs.

personally I'd keep him off fresh food for a while (grass should be ok), get him on lots of hay etc etc and he *should* snap out of it.

charlie used to make lots of caecs before I switched him from Excel to Science Selective so maybe the food is a bit too high in protein for Bungle?

just some thoughts. hope he clears up soon

Junior and Dwarf mixes are higher in protein than regular rabbit pellets and Excel is lower in fiber too.

I would keep him on a hay and water only diet for 24 hours to let his tummy settle again. A few blackberry leaves and a little probiotic in his water could help.

Thanks guys, he's had lots of cuddles and has had a small drink of water. He's now washing and cleaning himself up, so thats a good sign. I'm keeping them in the kennel and run for a while to give him some rest and will let them out later. He still seems quiet but the poor lad must have had a horrible night :0(

can't have been fun but he has lots of love and cuddles now I bet he's loving it!!


vibes for Bungle...

I've just syringe fed him 3ml of recovery and 2ml of bio Lapis in water. This has stimulated him to eat hay and now he's moved onto pellets....he's on SS so I've let him, thinking the probiotic in them should help - you think this is ok? Just glad to see him eating.

Sending vibes, hope is ok.
I'd promote hay, hay and more hay while he has a poorly tummy.

thanks, its just getting him to eat it .... he's just sitting now, i need to pop out and will see if he wants a run when i get back.

Vibes for Bungle.

I do as the others have said, keep pushing the hay and hopefully his tum will settle

Sending lots of vibes for Bungle xxx

thank you, he went out for a little run but then sat on the garden table looking sorry for himself, it started to rain so i've put him back in the covered kennel & run, I'm so worried for my baby

I hope he's feeling better today x

hope gorgeous Bungle is feeling better today
