Question
my rabbit ate quite a bit of dry dog food and is very lethargic.  she hasnt eaten or drank anything all day.  vet reccommended papaya tablets and fur ball medicine.  she is not getting better.  she is bloated an constipated.  please help

Answer
You need to get her to drink, and if she doesn't drink she will need to be taken to a vet to be hydrated.

If she is gassy, you can use simethicone, either the baby formula or the adult.  A full dose will not hurt her.

Otherwise she really needs to see a vet in the morning, there isn't much more you can do other than make sure she drinks.
