We had to rush Stevie to the vets last night as guess what... He started choking on his food! Different stuff to what Stitch choked on though.
Before I say anything else, he is back at home, receiving bed rest. He has eaten a little hay and carrot and has been weeing and pooping.
I was convinced we were going to lose him as Stitch died so quickly. Stevie was really brave though, he managed to clear the blockage himself and when we got to the vets they gave him oxygen and baytril and frusemide injections.
Unfortunately it sounds like he had fluid on his lungs and although clear now he may still get pneumonia
My usual vets gave me some baytril to give him today - I didn't want to take him back as it's 10 miles each way and not fair on him so will have to rely on the emergency ones we used last night if he goes downhill again.
I am still not over the loss of Stitch, I had however come to terms with the fact that one rabbit choking was a freak accident - Now this! I'm always going to be paranoid now.
Can we please have some vibes for Stevie's little bunny lungs and also my extremely tired brain!!!
Will update again later.
