Hugo's There
Wise Old Thumper
I can't believe we are having to put another bunny through a GA since loosing Austin during his on Tuesday. It is such a stressful time at the moment. To make matters worse Fuzzy only had a GA 2 weeks ago, we are really worried about him 
When we took him on in December we thought his only problems was his terribly matted coat and resulting sore skin, but he seems to keep having one problem after another.
He never ate much to start with but his diet and living conditions changed drastically here so put it down to that to start with. He was health checked and myxi vaccd just before Christmas and even though he had become aggressive no physical cause could be found.
His behaviour got worse, and between Christmas and New Year it was discovered he had spurs growing into his tongue right at the back. So he had a dental, and nothing else was found.
Again his behaviour didn't improve and on Thursday just as I got back from the vet from collecting Fidget I found he couldn't eat at all. Food was just falling from his mouth I felt along his jaw bone and his roots feel terrible. All I can get him to eat is recovery food and very watered down pellets, even on the highest dose of metacam.
He went ot the vets Saturday, and his tongue has healed fine so he is now booked in for dental x-rays on wednesday. He has even lost weight since his dental rather than gaining
The thing is I don't know what we are going to do once we have the results. His teeth all look fine in his mouth so nothing can be done there. there are no signs of abscess to be treated and he is on the highest dose of pain relief already :?
I wish I could do more for Fuzzy to make him comfortable, he has been through so much pain and upheveal in his little life.
We are so worried about putting a bunny through another GA especially when he has lost weight and about Fuzzys future
