Rosie Rabbit
Mama Doe
I posted a couple of weeks ago in Health about the problems Rosie has been having recently - mainly uveitis and eye problems, along with chesty noises. Thanks to those who gave advice on my thread. ( http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showthread.php?t=196286 )
Just wanted to update to say that we have been through in Edinburgh today and Rosie has had a consultation with Emma Keeble at the Royal D*ck Vet School. I was quite excited - a rabbit expert, at last! :lol:
She is going back in a couple of weeks to have more investigations done. The vet was quite concerned about her chest as she was quite grunty and raspy when examined - although she was a bit stressed due to the journey, etc.
She'll be seeing Brigitte Reusch then and will be having more X-rays (apparently the ones our vet did weren't very good :roll. She'll also examine her upper respiratory passages with an endoscope, take some fluid from her lung if possible, and have some more tests on her eyes, including measuring tear production to see if it is excessive. She'll be staying overnight so they can keep an eye on her.
We were in for an hour with her and she was lovely and very thorough. I seem to have forgotten most of what she said; it was a lot to take in. :? We nearly fainted when she told us how much all this will cost. But Rosie's worth every penny.
Will keep you updated. :wave:
