Young Bun
I have been here before about my adorable little 7 yr old lop bunny. I suspected that she has Ec going on and I have since worked out through loads of internet surfing that it was probably due to a weakness in the immune system due to a retrobulbar abcess. She has been OK due to drug management of all problems, but recently abcess seemed to be getting bigger.
On Tuesday we took her to another vet and they decided remove the offending molar. When she came from surgery she seemed great. yesterday she wasnt eating very well even though we tried coaxing her with all her favourites. She hasnt pooed now since yesterday night other than 3 tiny ones.
When I saw her this morning her tummy was solid so I phoned the vet and they told me to bring her right in. When in the car I cuddled her and she started to go floppy.
In the vet they grabbed her from me and put her on to oxygen right away and said they would get her body temp sorted and give her various drugs, which i never caught the name of as I was too upset. Tha was at 11.30am and I have to phone them at 2.30 to see what is happening.
Has anyone ever had a bunny survive after being this ill as I am absolutely distraught, she has been through so much and pulled through every time. I am wondering if she is just giving up. The vet doesnt thin it looks good but she hasnt phoned me yet to say anything has happened. I am hoping no news is good news.
If anyone has any positives to give me please do as I need something to hold on to.
