Bunny Buddy
Wise Old Thumper
Rushed her to the vets this afternoon with bloat symptoms.
X-ray confirmed loads of gas and everything points to a blockage
She was very quiet when being examined, just as Izzy was when very poorly.
Her blood glucose level was 18.6 so not in the 20 - 25 range but Alison felt it would get higher if left. She said we are likely to have a dead rabbit in the morning if she doesn't try. It is of course very high risk She said she would perform a laparoscopy (which I'm about to Google) but said she would open up the abdomen and take it from there - she won't open up the intestines unless absolutely necessary.
I always thought I'd say no don't do it - can conservative treatment be done first? but I can't risk doing nothing and she was clear it was very dangerous to leave her - so I've left it to the expert.
If anybody could spare any vibes we really could do with them
I'm just expecting the worst because I'm in that frame of mind. Alison was hoping to start surgery at 6.30 after consulting so could be hearing from her any time.
