I have posted before about my seriously ill bunny Alice who has recurrent gut disorder and liver problems.
Today, Alice is going through an episode of stasis. I am in phone contact with vet who have told me to continue with what I am doing for now.
She has had 3 drops metacam, metaclopramide, ranatidine all at separate times. She is not eating pellets but is still eating some hay, readigrass, parsley and basil. She is still going to her water bowl. Her droppings are soft and runny or small and hard at the moment. I am also giving her rehydration fluid and recovery food.
My main concern is managing her pain. Even with the metacam, she is grinding her teeth from time to time. I know that if we can't get on top of things this time, there are not any other options left. I think her liver function has improved. She has put on weight and is not drinking all the time.
I will obviously take her to the vets later if her pain level doesn't improve or if she deteriorates further.
I know it is unlikely people can help but I feel better for writing it down! I have been nursing Alice for about 7 months.
