Hello,
My 5 year old Doe Tamzin had been off since Xmas day. Following a trip to the vets she had an operation yesterday morning, 3 teeth were removed and the other back ones filed. While under GA I requested that they give her a good clipping tidy up round her rear end.
The vet called me personally during theatre to ask if we knew anything about 2 wounds they'd found amongst her long fur or if we'd done any DIY clipping? This was the first I knew about it but he said they were bad enough to require stitches!!
We collected her at 5.30pm yesterday and she wasn't too bad, however she has gone downhill ever since. She won't eat anything, just tiny tiny pieces every now and again......I have tried everything I can think of
To top things off she has now developed an eye infection on the same side as the tooth extraction and she's making a funny gurgle noise, maybe from nose area or guts?
She's a house bunny with a boyfriend Alfie who's doin his best to look after him.
Any advice or thoughts gladly recieved!

**UPDATE UPDATE 01/01/2010**
Started her on the meds at 11am yesterday morning and by last night she was eating soaked nuggets on her own and willingly taking the recovery from the syringe. We kept repeating this every 2 hours until around 2.30am when we left her to rest for the night. The soaked nuggets we left down were gone by 8.30am which is pleasing.
She's had some more meds at 11am and she's now having a hop around the garden, not grazing yet but sniffing around and investigating.
Not out the woods yet but so far so good

**UPDATE AGAIN 01/01/2010**
She's stopped eating since this morning.
She will not even open her mouth and lick and swallow anymore, it is becomming very hard to syringe feed her meds and recovery.
I shoved a slice of grape into the side of her mouth and she ate it eventually, this is not going to make her strong.
ANY IDEAS???
