Hugo's There
Wise Old Thumper
I'm so sad about Lottie, she has gone down hill so quickly I thought we would loose her today She is still with us but we are taking it day by day.
we have only had her just under 4 weeks but love her to pieces, she is such a special girl.
When she arrived she had bad cataracts on both eyes, but 2 weeks ago her eyes started to bulge and our vet, Jen, feared she has tumours behind her eyes. Her right eye is now very prominent and seems to be getting worse each day. A couple of days ago i noticed that her other eye had changed colour to a deep red behind the cataract.
Lottie had a thorough check up to day and it seems like her left eye has haemorrahged and the pressure in the other is very high and painful.
She also didn't eat much last night or anything this morning. She has eaten a small amount of banana this evening. Lottie has had metaclopromide and we have increased her pain relief but if she doesn't start eating better I am going to have to let her go
The only reason jen agreed to give her a bit more time is that I am convinced that Lottie is relatively happy. She is still enjoying her free range time, and potters about the house occassionally doing a little happy wiggle.
I really hope Lottie can have a few more quality days as a pampered house bunny.
here are a few pics of her in the garden a few days ago, when she was really enjoying the warm weather. Her eye had just been bathed, which is why it looks so wet
These were taken this morning, sorry some aren't too clear. They show just how badly her eye is protruding on the right side. It also shows how quickly it has happened as there are only a few days between these piccys
Its amazing how attached you can get to a little bunny in a few short weeks. She has the most amazing personality and we love her so much
