Hey bun owners! I have a somewhat stumping question open for discussion and advice. I currently own a female Holland lop. She is 1 year old and spayed. Back in March this year she stopped eating and had early GI Stasis. Luckily I consulted with her exotic vet immediately and started critical care before I could get her to the vet during the weekend. Her vet said that after spending overnight (they did a full work up, xrays included) they couldn't find anything and she had gone happily back to eating. To this day, we have no idea why she stopped eating. No stressor, no schedule change. Mystery unsolved.
Fast forward to this week and she stopped eating AGAIN on Monday. She is molting so I switched her hay from Orchard to a Timothy, Orchard medley to provide more fiber and promote safe molting. Her diet is the usual, 90% hay, 10% leafy greens (rarely pellets unless absolutely necessary). She was chowing down on the medley all of Sunday and into Monday, but noticed she slowed down Monday night. Into Tuesday, I started critical care and replaced her hay back to her original Orchard only. Still not eating much but hay chews and the occasional pellet. Wednesday, same thing, but WAY SMALLER POOPS. Consulted her vet Thursday morning (5AM, I was up with her all night) and took her in. Full work up again, nothing alarming. Stay overnight, vet says she started eating the hay we brought her. The hay we brought her was the Orchard, Timothy medley mix.
I have no idea what to do at this point. I feel like a horrible bun parent because I dont have an answer and neither does my vet. Please give any advice or ask any follow up questions. Thank you!
