Discontinue feeding milk and egg yolks to Yuki. These are not appropriate foods for a rabbit. Stop the colic-aid as well. This may interfere with her gut. Rabbits require a high fiber diet to maintain gut health. Feed as much timothy hay or similar grasses as she wants to eat. She can eat alfalfa until she is about 7 months old. Offer a commercial pelleted diet as well. You can moisten it to make it easier for her to eat. Have her examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating rabbits to diagnose illness or injury. If she is dehydrated, she may need supportive care to get her eating and acting normally.
