Beautiful Bessie is very poorly/ we've lost her

Hugo's There

Wise Old Thumper
Bessie is not at all well and she would be very grateful for any spare vibes please :(

Bessie was one of the Gloucestershire bunnies, she is 5 years old and blind and deaf, but has developed into such a little character in the short time she has been with us :love:

Late last night she went off her food and within an hour her breathing was very laboured. I knew her tummy didn't feel right but wasn't sure if it was her tummy upsetting her breathing or her breathing putting her off her food as she has had a mild respiratory infection already :?

Made her comfortable last night and rushed her to the vets first thing. It is her tummy causing the problems, it is very bloated and pressing on her diaphragm:( She has had fluids and high levels of pain relief but no metaclopromide in case of a blockage. Jen couldn't feel one but doesn't want to take the risk. We have left X rays for now as Bessie wasn't going to allow a conscious one, the world can be a scary place for her. And we didn't want to risk a GA.

I am continuing throughtout the day with fluids and zantac etc.

So far she has shown no signs of improvement :cry:

Hopefully all those fluids are starting to rehydrate her guts and get everything moving again. Fingers crossed she starts to pick up well soon xxx
