Bunny not eating, or pooping UPDATE, New rabbit saved from "dog food"

You know I can not find freaking timothy hay anwhere around here I have cubes and the pet stores here only sell cubed. I have an ad on pennswoods.net and on craigs list for it, but no emails yet. It is frustrating I have one more farmer to call if I have luck finding his number.

That is sooo weird, does anyone have any oat hay??? Any neighbors with horses??

How is he doing?

Tractor Supply Company sells Timothy Hay for bunnies. You can even order it on Amazon from a variety of sources, though you'll have to pay shipping. Oxbow is really high quality (and pricey).

I never even thought of tractor supply I will go there tomorrow hopefully he hangs on, tonight just looking a little miserable at times not eating now this evening I have a question, would it hurt to give him a little mylanta? It has the same stuff as the baby infant drops does?

Did you give him the petromalt?? How is his stools looking?

OK so I did some researching simethicone (mylicon) has the same ingredients in it as Gas-X which I just 5 minutes ago went and bought at local dollar store I was worried about the mg in the gas-x lady at the store said she asked the doctor about her baby (human) lol and doctor told her you can't overdose them on it (simethicone) because it isn't transported to the blood stream it goes straight to the gut and discarded. So I am going to inject out the medicine from the gel tab and mix with 1/2 ml of water and syringe feed it to the bunny, any thought before I do this!?

Sorry about commas and paragraphing trying to work fast lol

His stools are more formed not sticky and sticking to his bum.

Just someone watching from afar, I had a bunny that lived for 8 years- we had her and a box turtle that loved each other! Hope your hard work pay off, glad you found that info online, sounds like your going the right way!
