How To Force Feed Sick Rabbits

[@ThumpersMama18]

So important for people to have LOTS of patience with their buns! If you start to get frustrated it will only stress out your rabbit even more. Be gentle with them and try to talk to them and comfort them if they seem scared. Remember you are doing this because they NEED it, don’t give up no matter how hard it may be ❤️

[@YPotten]

Jessica M thx :3 I have a bun bun

[@WildWhispr]

So true, my bun has an ear infection and she's stopped eating cause of that, she HATES syringe feeding cause syringe feeding antibiotics has scarred her for life so it takes about an hour to do, with a lot of chasing around the room, her freaking out and eventually giving up. It kills me to stress her out so much, especially cause she thinks I'm being mean, but I have to persevere just cause I know she'll literally die if I don't.

[@ThumpersMama18]

@@WildWhispr animals are incredibly intelligent. I think deep down they know we are trying to help but they have that prey instinct that makes them feel vulnerable and want to hide

[@cathystockdale4542]

This video saved my bunny’s life last night. I had him in to the emergency vet for GI stasis- he’d already had the motility injections, but he wasn’t eating at ALL for hours after coming home. He was so weak and in pain by that point, the critical care was just dribbling out of his mouth. I tried everything to get him to eat. The comment you made at 5:50 to use a 1mL syringe was absolutely spot on because the first thing he did was lick the smaller syringe with the tiny amount of food coming out. Couldn’t believe it. It was all downhill from there. I fed him 1mL at a time all night until he felt well enough for the bigger syringe. He’s recovered almost fully now. Thank you for this small suggestion that turned my bunny around!

I wish I saw this video a couple weeks ago 😕 My bunny unfortunately passed as he was not eating. He had something wrong with his stomach and because he wasnt eating he went into GI stasis. We took him to the vet multiple times and they just said "it was the vaccine" which both my rabbits received a few days before. One was fine but as I say the other passed 😕 In the end they gave us the same medication but it was just too late 😕 In my country vets arent as educated with bunnies and dont specialize as much compared to America 😕 My other rabbit was fine and we got a pal for him (they are currently bonding) But I will NEVER forget my other one ❤

[@margaretmoniz1254]

Thank you for making this video! It's very informative. Hope your bunnies are ok. If I may add; If you have a squirmy/skittish/aggressive bunny I would honestly recommend doing this on the floor in a rabbit safe room. I would also recommend "burritoing" your rabbit in the towel to have better control over them. Back the rabbit's back end to you so they cannot back out and for aggressive bunnies have your hand that is not handling the syringe under the towel where there front legs and chest would be in case they try to bite you. Then during breaks you can either let them go and leave the room for a few minutes to let them destress and or used the towel to cover their eyes while they hang out with you in the burrito if they are willing to stay put with you. Everything else i agree with here and this is a good video. Also please check with your vet before switching between regular Critical care and fine grind and about how much extra water you can use for the right consistency. An extra teaspoon or tablespoon may not be a big deal but too much water may make it too dilute or increase aspiration risk. Thank you for reading.

I swear I was watching this next to my rabbit who refused to eat all day long… he heard the word “force feed” and immediately began eating hay. Good boy.

[@jmbrignon2712]

Have you ever tried massaging your rabbit's belly whenever they're sick? If you do it properly it helps their gut circulation and helps the rabbit expel the trapped gas, easing their pain. I think it works best for bloated bunnies but I'm told it also helps for G.I. Stasis. I've done it for my bunny the two times he was sick and he was right as rain by the end of the day. Maybe you could do a video on belly massaging since the technique can be a bit tricky?

[@thequeerbee2026]

She's obviously done tummy massage since she's an experienced rabbit owner

[@jmbrignon2712]

Yeah I'm sure she has, she just hasn't mentioned it ever, afaik (but I could be wrong ofc), so I'm hoping she can make a video on it, since it's such a useful method which has saved my bunny a lot of pain and a few stressful trips to the vet, and myself some costly vet fees. It's something which deserves a lot more attention than it's gotten.

[@emilyelizabeth7062]

That would be nice! She said in her emergency kit video that she does do massages, so that would be good to know!

[@jasper777777]

I always give electorlyte fluids 1-2 tablespoons first thing if my rabbits stop eating- using 1ml syringes only. I've never had any problems with my rabbit aspirating. The reason for fluids only is you are supposed to have a vet rule out a blockage before you do food. So I feel fluids are the only safe thing to do before going to the vet. Often the rabbit starts eating before the vet appointment after I have given the fluids. Sometimes I think just hydrating your rabbit gets its digestion going again.

Hailey, great video! Are you pointing the syringe towards the inside of the cheek pouch area? With Ebony, it looks like you are, but wanted to make sure so I do it the same way you are doing it! I’m asking because as you well know, the proper positioning of the syringe tip is very important to keep from aspirating the bunny. People need to know this.

[@MissMarch-vy3mn]

Thank you for this video. Mu fletcher went through stasis last may and it was terrifying. He allowed me to "bunny burrito" him then (still a toddler). But he was fixed this week (mature adult) and he is NOT dealing well with the pain medications. I feel like it is counterproductive, like I am hurting him, to give him pain meds. He does NOT like the cone (that I altered so he could reach the food and water, but not the incisions). I'm terribly afraid that he has now associated me with negative things. He and I were "besties" up until this week; greeting me, very willing to be picked up, loving the cuddles, etc. And now he flinches when I go into his xpen. I'm hoping this is only temporary and we will build that bond again once he is healed and that dreadful cone is off. I feel like we'll have to do the human/bunny bonding process all over again. Seeing my wee man suffer and frustrated makes me feel awful as a pet owner.

[@alinamarie5573]

Miss March1978 I’m so sorry you and your bun had to go through all of that. My bunny Toffee went into stasis around three months ago and I was terrified that I would be leaving the vets without him. Thankfully he fully recovered and is now happy and healthy again, although he found the whole experience as terrifying as I did, and i had to work to build our bond until it was as strong as it was before he went into stasis. Don’t give up and remember that your little boy survived going through stasis. Just give him love, and I hope that your bond will be back to normal, even stronger, soon.

How are your buns now? Currently feeding my 8 year old lethargic skinny bun suffering from stubborn dental abscesses that keep coming back after 3 invasive surgeries.. usually my bun is a fighter but not this time. My amazing vet recommended critical care! I find that instead of always wiping the towel, i just put puppy pads over the towel. I also have 2 wet paper towels - 1 over my bunnies paws incase of drippage (?) and the other in handy to the side incase i need to wipe it off his face. Def agree with the comments about mixing apple sauce! I find he tolerates it better!

Around 2-3 weeks ago, my friends bunny had babies. she thought she has all girls but there's apparently a boy (don't worry they're separated) but last Friday (the 15th) they found one of their bunnies bleeding. they found out that one of their bunnies had a miscarriage and she had to get surgery on Monday (the 18th) they now have to hand feed her since she can't eat solid food. this video helps a lot since they have never had to do this.

[@stephenthomson3120]

I mix the critical care with pineapple juice instead of water. It makes it easier for my rabbit to take and the pineapple juice is very good for his digestion as well.

[@otabee6003]

I do not recommend this. Pineapple juice is high in simple sugars that promote growth of bad bacteria in a bunny's cecum. Too much pineapple juice will tip the delicate balance in their gi system. And the effect is enhanced in a rabbit who hasn't been eating (hence the need for critical care). A vet told me to feed my rabbit pineapple juice for a hairball, and I had to put him down because the pineapple juice caused his cecum to distend and rupture.

[@walkinginthewilderness4339]

I would agree with this. My bunnies never have done well adding anything sugary when they are not well with a gut issue....overgrows the bad bacteria very quickly! I have added l Benebac gel probiotic and done alright to help a gut slow down in one rabbit and the small amount of sugar in that formulation was okay for her but this is the exception.

[@walkinginthewilderness4339]

Use a piece of that rug gripper material and then put a towel or blanket down so it won't slide all over. I use a large table that I can comfortably sit at and have a desk lamp for examination if needed. I regularly use this table for brushing my bunny when she is not sick so she is used to it and not frantic. But yes, if you are new to rabbits, they do jump so you may have to start on or near a carpeted floor BUT the problem is then, they know they can get away and you will end up stressing them as you chase them around to medicate them. You kind of just start slowly and work with your rabbit and see how they respond to medical care. Some rabbits love medicines and Critical Care food and some run for their lives. I usually have the latter!!!😂

My bunny hasn't been eating pellets, she will eat vegetables but she is extremely picky with them so it's hard to just feed her vegetables, I can't afford to take her to the vet right now because of covid and the current job situation so I'm really stuck on what to do

I’m new and I have a water bottle in cage.Why water bottles are bad? I just don’t know

[@ariana6006]

Not that much water comes out. Bowls are easier for them and bottles could dehydrate them

[@suchisubhrabagchi5925]

my bunny is drinking lots of water but barely eating anything..does that mean he doesn't have GI stasis? please reply

[@steph14.x]

how is ur bunny ? did you ever find out because i’m currently goin through this

[@suchisubhrabagchi5925]

@@steph14.x she didn't make it😔..I think it's best if you take you bunny to the vet because i couldn't and maybe that's why i couldn't save her😢

[@walkinginthewilderness4339]

When they are not eating, it is GI Stasis and yes, they die very quickly if you don't get them to a vet. I am sorry about this. Don't blame yourself. Whoever is selling rabbits should explain to every new owner that being able to afford vet bills for them is a critical part of rabbit ownership, especially for stasis. Most people have no idea when they get a cute, fuzzy bun that vet care is a critical part of ownership. I didn't know all this either and had to learn. So sorry for all of you in the comment section who have lost your bunnies. Small animal care is very detailed and most people are not taught anything by the pet store, breeder and even vet clinic before buying a small animal!! 😢

Kaila Land I don’t really have a near by vet to ask :/ it takes 3 hours to get there:(

[@xalice5492]

What do I do? I force feed my rabbit but he spits it out, even if I hold him he doesnt swallow and just spits it all out when I let him go :/ please help

[@saracat1403]

I gave my rabbit baby food it was apple spinach with kale a long with unflavored Pedialyte . After I took him to the vet and then I started feeding him critical care. I gave my rabbit smaller amounts of critical care than what the video shows every 2 hours along with Pedialyte . I increased the amount of critical care once he seemed to be doing betrer. Keeping the bunny hydrated a long with force feeding him worked for me. He was also on meds so that helped too. My rabbit was really sick so it took a few weeks for a full recovery. I hope your bunny gets better soon :(

[@rachelpursel9267]

Do all/most rabbits go through GI stasis at some point in their lives?

[@bethanybunny6512]

Yes it's very uncommon for a rabbit not to get stasis as some point a

[@Trainingthroughlife]

Yes. Sadly most will

[@ariana6006]

Yes always be ready and know the signs. Make sure u go to a vet specially for rabbits. I didn’t and she was a complete idiot.

Thank you so much for this video! This would have been so helpful when my bun was going through stasis.. I know this will be so helpful for other bun moms and dads.
