Please pray for Angel....

Our 1 and a half year old house bunny Angel was admitted to the vet hospital today after showing signs of stasis on Wednesday - was treated with motility grugs/stomach palpitations etc... but still no eating/productions of droppings. The only positive is that she wasn't showing any pain signs - no hunching/crunching teeth etc...

She had an xray today, and she has ileus, where there is no movement at all of the gut. They are giving her intradermal fluids, keeping her warm, syringe feeding her critical care mix and high doses of gut motility drugs but say it's 50/50 - have been crying so much as I am so scared we are going to lose her.

We've to phone again in the morning...

healing vibes being sent your way.
Hope she gets better soon

Sending lots of vibes to you.

PC playing up-double post!

I hope Angel has improved for you today.

I went throught this at Christmas with Katy where her tummy was full and it would not pass any further. She made it after a very worrying 8 days and is bouncing around outside now.

Lots of eating and pooping vibes coming your way.

Sending vibes for Angel. Is there any news?

Hope Angel is ok today xxx

Sending vibes for Angel, really hope she has picked up today.

sorry to hear Angels not well. Sending loads of vibes for a fast recovery

thanks everyone xx, this means a lot.

We went to visit her at the vets today and she is still acting fine, pretty perky and not withdrawn or showing evidence of pain or discomfort. We gave her lots of cuddles and kisses - but still no poos have been passed...it's now been since Wednesday.

She was, however, eating dandilion leaves the vet nurse had given her, and once we'd got them to switch the water bottle for a water bowl, she was drinking fine on her own from this. They put her in a bigger pen, as she's a very big girl, and she was hopping around inside it too.

The impaction in her gut is still being treated with gut motility jags, intra dermal fluids and she's being hand fed critical care mix via syringe, so they're doing all they can at the moment. She's warm and bright eyed and responsive, but just needs to poo....

They say it's ileum - where the muscles in the colon have just stopped moving, and it's a waiting game to see whether all this supportive care will cause them to start up again. I feel so helpless, and swing between 'we're going to lose her' and 'she'll be okay'...

We're going in again tomorrow morning and we can take Merlin, her bonded partner in to visit too - he's wondering where she is

Will keep you all updated, thanks again

I hope she keeps improving. Sending lots of healing and poohing vibes! ((hugs))

Sending lots of positive vibes - hope she'll perk up more when she sees her husbun x
