Bunny Buddy
Wise Old Thumper
I feel guilty for relaxing these days.
Last week Tuesday to Thursday I nursed Artie through one of his not eating episodes. I rushed Tinks to the vets on Wednesday (instead of going to work) as she was breathing quickly and lacking some of her normal enthusiasm, thinking she may have a respiratory infection. She's on baytril just in case, though the vet could find nothing. I'm watching her every move, as you do.
I've just had ten hours sleep as I was exhausted (somebody was banging their feet at 2am, 4am and 6am but I never worked out who!). Tinky looked bright this morning, nibbling hay both times I saw her, ran laps for her breakfast, took a piece of spring greens and ran off to eat it - all an improvement on the last few days. *starts to relax a little*.
I just walked past Tink and Rudy, she came for a treat and he didn't :? So I stepped into their pen and gave him a fengreek crunchie which he reluctantly took then dropped I go into blind panic of cause, local vets about to shut, trip to Harrogate then ... mind in overdrive. I had a feel of him and thankfully he doesn't feel bloated.
I calmed myself a little and picked some dandelions. He came rushing to see what I'd got and took one. He's since had a couple of pieces of SS pellets and a sprinkling of Herbs Plus - with enthusiasm. I'll still be watching him closely all day.
Trouble is though, I'm still shaking a little It's the accumulation of so many of them being poorly. I convince myself that if I get it wrong they will die. I've just had a two month patch of not having to rush anyone to the vets and I was great.
I take my hat off to anyone with more than four bunnies, I really don't know how you manage it.
