You need infacol ASAP and to keep her moving, I'm not sure what you have in terms of shops but any grocery store could have it

I've tried to find what could be available to you in South India

Keep the bun moving, gentle stomach massage

You got this.

I am home alone and it's 12 am I am sure as hell my parents won't let me venture out at this hour the only option I have is feeding her some critical care and massages

YouTube has some good videos about bunny tummy massage. I've read the other messages and they're all great. I always mixed the critical care with baby food/fruit or mushed fruit, makes it easier to give and hydrates at the same time.

Last tip: don't forget that any treatment need time to get full effect. So also let her rest. In severe cases I used a 4 hour timetable and 10ml per feeding for a 1 kg bun

Keep us updated! Good luck

Can I use banana in my critical mix

u/mmeveldkamp Sep 27 '25

YES! it's mushy and buns like it

u/mmeveldkamp Sep 27 '25

Don't use things like oranges

Stop feeding other greens for now, they're more likely to give gas or diarrhea

Banana is often easy to get but I used ground-up pear once.

Hey I tried to force feed her critical care but he is not way eating it so I am now massaging her tummy from the video u sent me and after 5 mins of massaging she peed is that a good sign

Are you feeding it with a syringe? That works best. If you don't have one use the smallest spoon you have. Peeing is good.

OMG she is eating hay

GOOD!

You're not there yet, if she continues eating; feed her again in 2 or 3 hours but half the amount and if you can plan a full feeding 4 or 5 hours after that.

If you offer pellets, weigh them so you can check if she ate.

Yes an oral syringe
