Help With Colitis

D

Deleted member 157166

Hello,

So I had to book an emergency vet appointment this afternoon as I found blood in Pips stools. The vet thinks it could be colitis and that Metacam (long term use) could be the reason. She has taken her off that and given liquid paracetamol 0.72ml 2 to 3 times a day for a week to see how she goes and I’m using fibreplex for rabbits probiotics.

- Pip is eating hay and drinking
- She is crying when having a poo (it hasn’t happened for a few hours now but I’m monitoring her)
- She is maintaining weight
- She has soft, smelly poos
- There’s been no blood on bedding or in her urine so we assume it’s coming from that area.
-She’s off veg for a few days due to the soft poo
- She is gassy at the moment (her stomach is going down gradually)

The vet says all her other vitals are normal, good stomach noises, heart rate, temperature etc.

Has anyone else had experiences with this and any advice is welcome.
 
She’s crying out when she goes for a poo and it’s really upsetting tbh
 
*Update*

Pip has not squealed pooing since yesterday evening. There has been no blood on her bottom or poo either. I weighed her this morning and she lost 37g but that could be from normal fluctuations and it is in her normal range. She is still eating and drinking normally . Her poos are still a little soft but better formed than yesterday. Her bloat has gone down significantly as well. I’m hoping this is a good sign and I’m not getting my hopes up.
