hes been in the vets since monday morning...a routine session of stress related stasis i thought..then the shock and horror with poor dazy-mae.
bertie got sick too and i then thought merlin just had a dental..he was very odd kept hiding and kept coming out for food tho..bless him
his poos had been small and hard for a few days..like i said dazy-mae took priority and he gets like it with his teeth. lucky i had some metaclop syrup.
i got dazy-maes metaclop and metacam from the vets and was feeding him that..i didnt do force feeds as hes a very squirmy bun and he was still eating and begging for food...even if hes not allowed it..he still begs for it:lol:
The vet said the mass/thickening wasnt anyhting shed come across before...and it was certainly very tender there which explained the probs with picking him up trying to medicate him and why we didnt even attempt a feed.
he needed a dental..not a massive spur...no soft tissue damage..but his right molar spur always makes him ill....other buns wouldnt even notice it but like my bridge bun bif..a teeny spur makes it painful enough for him.
they xrayed him whilst he was out under ga.
the thickening had no gas build up either side of it and wasnt opaque enough to be something hed eaten..like the two holes hed chewed out of my long curtains which he did whilst waiting for the taxi to be put in the carrier or even fur where he kept grooming bertie.
but it was very bright..like calcium but it had the constincency of poo but calcification bright. theres also some around his kidenys ive been told today...and and his bladder yet hes showed no signs of bladder sludge.
i felt so ashamed where hed been so grumpy for a few weeks and id been bad with my blackouts....i couldnt cut his nails...nikki had been too ill to help when i could catch him.
his toe nails needed cutting...badly...id neglected him poor sould...and berties bum...she must think im an awful owner
but theyve told me hes not eating on his own at all..and stopped pooping yesterday
hes been on motility meds...must ask about zantac on phone in morning....
hes on fluids.....and hes been syringe fed and is being tempted with greens..herbs etc to get him eating again.
Today id been told he was the same and theyd have to take bloods. Then a confession they couldnt get any...the shift change vet would do it and update me.
this evening i was updated...hes taking his feeds fine.....still. In fact the nurse there who cared for him from the off is very attached to him and is the one to insist on syringe feeding him as hes so good...is that the same rabbit?:shock:
The vet also said hed pooped a few spoonfuls....still hard and small but poops all the same. the nurse said shed never been so pleased to see a rabbit poop!
hes a lovely little fluffball and he was bright enough they said..in fact he was a bit brighter..oh no.
my heart sunk at that because everytime i hear that its the calm before the storm..or the final fling before imminent death...with animals and people ive experienced this many times
they got bloods taken and they were couriered off to the labs this evening. they dont have their own labs there.
the costs so far incurred with necropsy and cremation of dazy-mae....berties consult and meds which i left behind,,but had a little at home to begin wth....and merlins first 24hrs dental....not inclluded is over £700:shock:
by tomorrow i could well be looking aty best part of a thousand pounds!
oh my gods thank goodness i have insurance but have to pay first and wait for darned cheque...
i had my bloomin bank account hacked....i was a mess yesterday evening..today i grabbed a little more sleep..hoping it would stop blackouts..it actually helped a lot...that and getting the bank sorted out.they shut my account down without telling me!! oh but we did try to contact you on the 25th...what with...telepathy!
the cost is awful but i will get refunded apart from the dental...being pts and cremation and necropsy.
the necropsy is for the benefit of my buns...bluebelle her sister....and more importantly..the rescue and their vet...and the other sister being rehomed soon.
but please i know now dazy-mae was a lost cause...probably congenital neurological problem....hence her being so clutsy and in a daze....and the aggression towards the cats and merlin but not bertie (merlins a black lionhead who is a pseodocat)
Merlin however could pull through for a while at least....please please send vibes for our little tribble...berties best buddy and personal valet...and a cuddly friendly little bunny. weve had him since 6th july 2009..he came to us as thumper from rosies rabbit rescue..julie.....and was bunrun to us by pretty lupin..vicky and her hubby.
hes such a little furry termite..merlin the destroyer of all things..but hes so sweet and cuddly....and worships the ground bertie lollops on...mind you who doesnt:lol::lol:
we need this little guy to get well enough to come home....its not the same without his little furry chops and moulting fat furry little bum.
bluebell and bertie have a you dont fight me..i wont fight you relationship going on. bluebells fave snooze spots in the kitchen in front of the tumble drier under the clothes airer...quiet..dark and warm. but now shes after company other than the mad two little kittens and the four year old kitten called zuzu
this house is so full of sadness right now.
my poor mum in the past few weeks has finally got to know merlin and adores him...even tho bertie is her fave...nannys boy
as much vibes as poss...and anyone who can suggest what it is he may have as theyve had the same..please post or pm me.
thank you guys xx
