I ended up in hospital yesterday will spare you the details but I wasn't around to give Evan his medication so no painrelief etc so he is unfortunately much worse and my decision for surgery/pts is imminent.
(my gran tried to give his meds but was unable to)
However now Dana is totally off food and has eaten a fair amount of newspaper gran didn't think it was an issue been to vets zantac metocloprimide metacam and fluids she seems uncomfortable still and is still obsessed by newspaper cardboard carpet etc. I've researched and what I come up with is that she is trying to get fibre? Would that be right?
If so could I offer readigrass whilst she's poorly on another day i would probably be a bit more savvy but its been a horrific 24 hours.
No blockage teeth were checked lungs clear x-ray fine vet thinks probably stress induced we are quite close her and I plus I don't think two paramedics helped either as she's not great with strangers.

Oh no, what a horribly stressful time you are having :cry:

I really hope that both you and Dana feel better soon.

I am really sorry that Evan is still struggling :cry:
 
Sending vibes for you, Dana and poor wee Evan ((((((((((((((((((((Healing vibes)))))))))))))))) xxxx
 
Hi thank you for the replies
Evan is still the same syringing food and things are moving through now his meds have started again but its like putting a plaster on a severed artery his final appointment will be made soon
Dana is eating and pooping they are small and she's still a bit tender n her abdomen but hopefully on the mend fingers crossed I caught her early
 
Dana turn for the worse major abdominal pain waiting on vet call back as dealing with emergency but have ok'd me to give fluids subcutaneous take a blood glucose and we will take it from there but I've arranged a lift to the vet as I'm guessing she will require x-rays and more motility drugs after blockage ruled out. Stopped pooing at 5pm and no gut sounds present either side so worried about her I can't face losing them both
 
Ooohh... hugs and vibes..... come on little girly... get well for Mummy..

good lad Evan! keep nomming and pooing


lots of love

Just back from vet minus Dana they are keeping her in for x-rays iv fluids as she's bit dehydrated syringe feeding and meds after blockage ruled out although vet fairly certain its not a blockage more likely the stress of the past few days

Feel so rubbish about the whole situation if she hadn't witnessed me collapse and got so upset she wouldn't be in stasis I could cry she's my girl we are so close I love both my bunnies but she is a sweety loves people even after her previous owner burned her with cigarettes :(
Any vibes appreciated as they never really found out why she was so poorly last year and I'm terrified this is a flare up I nearly lost her in October
