Wise Old Thumper
I took Lola to see a rabbit specialist last night, because for the past month her hocks have been slightly inflammed.
She always has blankets out and even a duvet- you can't see the carpet when she's out, her cage has a layer of vetbed over a fleecy blanket, her litter tray is changed twice a day, her nails are cut to the correct length and she's the weight (2.6kg) she should be Her cage is also changed daily.
However they just seem to have been getting worse I'm stuck for ideas. We've been given Metacam, which she is to have 1.3ml twice a day for 1 week then 0.6ml for the following week again twice a day. Does anyone know of anything else I could do to help her?
The specialist also noticed that to the right one of Lola's molars is starting to spur. She has a constant fresh supply of hay and leafy greens every day (twice), which she has always had. The specialist said to ensure she has these and hopefully it should go, otherwise she needs a dental and general anesthetic . Since she's always had these is there anything else I could do to help get rid of this spurring before it gets serious?
I'm to go back with Lola in 2 weeks.
Any help would be highly appreciated, Thanks in advance!
