Bunny Buddy
Wise Old Thumper
She was behaving like she had bloat but wasn't really distressed just obviously uncomfortable and unhappy. She felt okay (not bloated) to me though. Anyhow I monitored her and attempted to give her Gripewater which she refused She was definitely in pain of some sort but behaving like she had bloat and refusing all food.
I took her to the vets first thing (luckily they have open appointments from 9.00 so you can always get in quickly). She saw the 'cat and dog vet' who said she didn't appear bloated to her, but admitted her for nursing/ observations/x-ray, whatever becomes necessary, I *think* she's likely to see a rabbit vet during the day, and definitely to be cared for by rabbit experienced nurses so I know she's in good hands.
Poor Essie, just like when Art is poorly she was bright and lively one hour earlier - what the 'ell am I doing wrong???? They are on far better diets than my bunnies of the previous years, they are producing mounds of big poos, they are bright and enthusiastic ... she hadn't eaten anything in particular in the couple of hours before being poorly, only hay :? I need to stop talking about bonding Art and Essie as everytime I mention it, or even think it, one of them's poorly
I only have 4 bunnies and constantly seem to be dealing with emergencies, I don't know how you many-bunny-households cope, I really don't.
I've to ring at 4.00 to find out how she's doing. I shall of course update.
