Pet Forum / Mammals / Rabbits / June 2008Precious - simethicone
Hi guys, I know rabbits are prone to GI stasis and we wanted to take some preventative measures just in case for today until Precious goes to the vet tomorrow for her surgery. I know a number of people have recommeded Ovol. I picked up Ovol in drops (15 ml bottle with a dropper). The recommended dose for infants is .25 to .5 per dose (max of 1.5 mls per day). Could we get some advice on recommended dosage? Joe Don't do anything your vet has not asked you to do. Rabbits are suppose to eat right up until surgery. If your vet does not know that, your vet is not a rabbit vet.

Best of luck to Precious tomorrow. Cathy > Hi guys, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Joe I give my rabbits approx. 2 ml. 3 times a day when they show signs of gas, like stretching out or sitting straight up uncomfortably, and not eating. It is a very safe 'medicine' (not even that) that is 'inert', that means it doesnot react with any other drug. It's handy to keep it in your medinebox, but only use if Precious doesn't want to eat and is showing some discomfort. When you'll get her home straight after surgery, it is important you keep her warm. Make up a bed with a hotwaterbottle hidden in a blanket on one side, but with enough room she can decide not to use it if she doesn't need the heat. Whenever my rabbits have a rough time (lilke an op.), I make sure I have plenty of fresh herbs like celery, parsely and mint, as I find they will often start with that before getting back to their food. Good luck!

We have Infacol here and it is for gas relieve of human babies. We used it for emergency when rabbits has gas problem and just before seeing vet, in order to help abit. We would use the minimun dose for rabbit as it is for babies. If you worry that Brandy does not eat after surgery, you could ask vet for opinion about pain reliever and probiotics. Get well soon.
