Hugo's There
Wise Old Thumper
Fern hasn't been herself for about 10 days now. She is a French lop who will be 6 in August.
The weekend before last she went into stasis but has gradually started eating again over the last week. She still isn't eating normally but enough to get by. It is also taking her hours to eat what would normally take her minutes as she keeps lying down and then going back to it.
She has had all the usual meds including a course of baytril. Metacam doesn't seem to be helping. Her teeth have been checked by 3 different people, they are fine and her jaw line seems smooth.
She has stayed lively in herself through out the whole thing. She had bloods done and the results came back normal yesterday, so I decided it would be ok to get her Myxi vac done yesterday.
This morning she wouldn't come out of her hutch for her breakfast and wouldn't eat it when I took in to her, but she did wolf down some greens.
I don't know what else to do for her, i will keep a careful eye on her today in case the vaccination has affected her.
The only other suggestion I can think of is x rays but want to avoid these if I can due to her age. Plus I'm not sure what they would show up that a blood test wouldn't.
Anyone have any ideas, I am really worried as this has been going on so long.
