My bunny got gas drops. Can I give metoclopramide for constipation?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | unspayed | 8 months and 28 days old | 2.24 lbs

I gave my bunny simethicone gas drops, equivalent to 10 mg. She weighs approximately 3 pounds. Can I give her 0.7 ml of metoclopramide 1mg/ml to stimulate a bowel movement? The gas drops are once an hour for 3 hours, and the metoclopramide is every 8 hours

Generally speaking yes, you can give that dose of metoclopramide exactly as your veterinarian recommended. Specifically you should tell us more about the signs Delilah is showing so we can advice exactly on what to do next.
