As some of you may know Pan had surgery a few months ago because of a sudden weakness in her hind legs. During surgery they found a couple of things but nothing to explain the weakness. She had bloods taken and everything was normal so the conclusion has been nerve damage. She has been ok for a while, has good days and bad days, but she has always been bright and alert and still running away from me when I go to check her. In this last two weeks she has been dragging her hind legs more and more, when you see her sat now she has them both splayed out to the right hand side, almost as if she is sitting on her hip, she isn't as hungry as usual and isn't cleaning herself as well (still cleaning though) She does still try to move away from me but she isn't fast enough now so it's very easy for me to pick her up and check her over. She is in a 6ft x 4ft run inside the shed with a lino base and plenty of shavings, oh and of course Arthur. She is still weeing and pooing in one corner, she stopped using her litter tray a while ago as she can't get into it anymore so uses a corner instead. Pan is 6 and she has started to loose weight, her back end has been thin for a while and I put this down to lack of use, but she has started to go skinny round her ribs. After all the scans and surgery Pan had earlier in the year there isn't anything further my vets can or would do (Hazel wouldn't put any bunny never mind a 6 year old bunny, through anything unnecessary).
I know no one on here can tell me to PTS as that ultimately is my decision. I just don't know what else we could do to make her more comfortable? heat pads are useless as she is still active enough to move away from them, she gets plenty of veg and metacam every other day (I’m trying not to give her too much) the lino flooring she has is cushioned so is very soft. anyone have any ideas?
