hes no better at all...eatin g and drinking fine and passing faeces great nothing wrong he can go home without any tests...ggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
if im ever unfortunate to see that stupid moo ever again ill kill her.or at least ill rip her to shreds verbally!:evil::evil::evil:
saw ellen today and shes an excellent bunvet tip top..
shes as worried as us and thought theyd taken bloods and iv fluids whilst he was there cos she saw him in there..he was in isolation!
his tummy is still empty..hes still on his baytril and metaclop and i have given him some metacam this afternoon as he had a rough old time. she put a gag in his mouth to check all inside his mouth and teeth in case there was something there. then she shaved his ear and took two vials of blood and then she rehydrated him with ringers lacate syringed under the skin in places so it would give him 24hrs worth of fluids anyway.
she said taking blood is only deifnate way to prove dehydration or rule it out in bunnies. also shes testing it for liver and kidney function.....and if that proves unfruitful then an xray might help show something up.
shes had cases of bunnies whove been ill but no obvious breathing probs and the xray showed up a mass in the lungs:shock:
she said if something does show up in the blood work then itll be the case of what can we do for him it maybe nothing can be done or soemthing that may only provide a bit more time and comfort but well cross that bridge.
she said in her last practice they were next door to a rabbit sabctuary so shed operate on at least 10 buns a week and treat them too..she said you soonlearn bunny medicine!
bertie still has an empty tum and after being home these past few days has only managed two tablespoons of poo maybe alittle less. eating fine my backside!!
i told ellen we had expected bertie to have iv fluids etc and how she said he didnt need them or blood tests but shes not allowed to comment.
she said sadly its fairly common to find these sorts of cases where nothing can be found wrong but something is wrong and all you can do is treat the symptoms until they fade away or get pts.
i can feel bones on bertie where i recall a lot of padding up until a fortnight ago
hes nibbling hay..taking his meds with protest and chomping a treat after..a sugar free dried banana chip.
hes fading bless him..im sufering a breaking heart..poor ole bertie..my big dirty flirty bertie....
please please as much vibes for him as poss.
