id only had two hrs sleep i was sooo worried....and ive got pmt too so my blackouts and jerks complimentary of my epilepsy...almost led me to having a seizure there:shock: i also got confused talking to the vet...and then couldnt tell her what questran was used for...shes dutch and it probably is under a diff name..could i recall it..nope...aarghhhh
Anyway we began with bif and her vhd jab and gassy tum.stasis probs...bifs lost 200g since last visit andbetween ellen and nikki andi weve come to the descision to give a dose of fibreplex every other day or everyday even to keep her tum working better. ellen said theres actually a form of infacol especially for rabbits they use in holland but its got some horrific side effects etc:shock:
she said to give it to her like we usually do along with the regular fibreplex if thats whats keeping the gi probs levelling out and we can avoid metaclopramide syrup etc.
Then Bertie....my big brave boy.....the ulcer has got bigger in his eye......so ellen tried to get hold of john chitty AGAIN but hes still away
so because one of her other vets at animed..mark no less..is giving a dog serum therapy she felt a lot more confident about threating bertie with it.
So she made nikki try to put him on his side etc nothing owrked. so niki tipped him on his back in her lap and ellen shaved a massive patch f fur off his thigh and got lyn to apply pressure whist she took a load of bloods...he was soooo good and never complained once..
the blood is made into a serum and given to him in his eye along with other eye drops in the hope it will heal it. if it doesnt..it doesnt look good for berties poor eye.....i squeaked does that mean losing his eye and she said we hope not
now only time will tell.poor bertie
Next up was poor wee casper
the teeth i thought had grown back were actually his peg teeth which hadnt been removed due to the probelm he had with the GA and she said they dnt grow fast at all and can be easily and safley trimmed not like normal inscisors.
BUT she is very concerned about the fact we saw pus there..it emans its spread to the open holes left behind form his top teeth and thats not good..means its in the bones
theres still pus coming form the abscess ite its not totally clsoed over but too deep for us to flush now
she said to not bother iwth the baytril now and finish up the metronizadole (flagyl) for today and tomorrow and shes given a few days extra...BUT she doesnt want to give him anymore if it doesnt work.
she said if it does help a little or the little fella is ok for a few weeks or maybe a month then hell have that time..if he is lucky. BUT she says if the pus is back...she feels its better for him to be pts
so i came out of the vets with a very very heavy heart.
my blackouts became so bad i had to get home and go to bed..i tried getitng up at about 3pmish and had a bit of french bread i thought theyd stopped but oh no....then i had an arguement with nikki and i got so upset i burst into tears...my mum had to go with nikki to pick up berties eye drops and bring htem home. i ened up sleeping for a few hours and this evening at about 9pm i surfaced feleing rotten but not blacking out and chucking things aorund like i was..phew!! and i avoided a full blown seizure yay..altho after today i might have enjoyed the temp memory loss after.
The only decent time in the vets was trying to talk to ellen about bicillin therapy for bunny abscesses and how its not used in the uk..she said they used it in holland but it became to nasty for the buns so they avoided it unless it was buns last hope cos of the gut probs. i then said well i have heard on here that questran can be used to try and help the gut toxicity problem..she didnt know what it was..i couldnt rember its other name or even what its for normally..and iw as talking ga ga by this point
so i told her ill ring her when my epileptic attacks have finsihed today but i didnt as i had them all day. so tomoororw ill ring her.
then nikkis got berties eye drops regime confused anyway so il be ringing up yet again:roll:
so all in all a pretty naff day and a very heavy hearted visit to the vets
