        hi so i realized that mocha was not eating as much as usual and acting oddly around last night. I thought her stomach was feeling a little off so I gave her some pineapple juice to help. this morning I gave her some more pineapple juice and some water as well bc she definitely was not drinking or eating as much as she should. I had to go out, so when I got back, I realized that she is feeling a lot worse now. she keeps standing up and then lying back down on to her stomach again. and when she lies down, she kind of leans to the right. when she stands up I don’t see any head tilts or anything. I’m really really worried about her but no vets are opened today or at this hour. I checked in with the emergency vets but none of them know how to treat rabbits. tomorrow morning I’m going to call and book an appointment to our rabbit vet.
        im really worried about mocha and I was wondering if I should continue giving her pineapple juice and water? should I also give her some critical care to eat??
        thanks for any advice

          Have you tried baby gas drops and belly massages? Simethicone is the generic name. If you check out rabbit.org they have really good articles and even a video on how to give the belly massages. If she doesn’t improve by the morning definitely get her to the vet. It could be something more serious.

          I would probably back off the pineapple juice unless it is the only way you can get her to drink fluids or consume calories.

          If she has stopped eating or popping and peeing you should start critical care. You don’t want GI Statis to set in and cause bigger problems if it is just gas.

          Good luck and let us know how she is doing.

            If she has stopped eating please feed her critical care. You can also do light stomach massage, stroking down the body and gently lifting her hips to help any gas move through. Baby gas drops may help to move any gas.. Try to get atleast 10 ml of cc into her.

              Will she eat any of her favorite veggies? Try the gas drops, those may help until you can get her in tomorrow.

                  Not sure what brands you have there. In Australia we have Infacol, as long as it’s simethicone it should be fine.
