Fudge went into stasis on Thursday night so i gave her metacam as i always do (the highest dose) Friday morning her poo was the size of a pin head and she was grinding her teeth in pain although she still ate her breakfast just slower than usual.
So more metacam and Zantac to move things along and by friday night her poo was slightly bigger but she still was grinding her teeth loud even after her pain relief :? Again she was still eating.
Saturday was the same poo slightly bigger and more, i had a feel under her jaw sat night and the roots of her teeth felt slightly bigger on her right side and she didnt like me having a feel
Sunday was better she looked happier and was eating her usual fast self again and poo is bigger and again more of them as was Yesterday although i heard no grinding of her teeth and her tooth roots feel back to how they were not swollen and sore!
She does have problems with the roots of her teeth and went into stasis from the pain of them pushing through after 3 1/2 weeks on metacam she was fine!
Now i have a vet app for tonight, not with Fudges usual vet, he is on holiday so i am getting someone i dont know and im not sure if i need to go to the vets now!
Fudge is better and eating and pooing fine so should i see how she is on metacam only (like my usual vet says to do, metacam + Zantac for 3 days and if no improvement then take her in, if there is improvement metacam for a following 3 days without zantac)
I just dont feel comfortable taking her to a vet that doesnt know her and her history with her teeth, and this vet isnt very 'rabbit savvy'
I will with no doubt take her if she clearly needs to, or needs an emergency vet.
In your opinion what would you do? I know myself she is better but should i still go?
Thanks :wave::wave:
ETA: This stasis was different to the other times, it was more from the pain of her teeth but she did also have very bad gas Fri and Sat. And this all happened after i bought and tried her with alfalfa bales :?
