My rabbit has loud digestive noises after being sick. What to do?

Question

Hey, I have a one year old holland lop rabbit. Recently she stopped eating and drinking and we took her to the vet to get critical care and the bunny version of an advil. She has been acting normal for the past couple of days but her tummy is making loud digestive noises. I was wondering what you think would be the best course of action for her. We have cut off the amount of greens we give her as we thought the contributed to the lack of eating, am worried something else is wrong.

Is her appetite back to normal? Any change in diet in rabbits can change how the GI bacteria ferment their food, so I usually recommend a very gradual change. I would watch closely for the next few days for any diarrhea to develop. It also would not be a bad idea to have a fecal examination done to make sure she doesn’t have any intestinal parasites. Best of luck and I hope she is back to normal soon! Thank you for using Pet Coach.
