Hope for my baby Bunny U/D HE IS HOME!

Update: Bunny is now home and seems a lot better. He is eating and poo-ing normally :)

All in all a very good update!


Spare some thoughts for my little boy, Bunny, who I am about to rush to the vets.

He is refusing food (incredibly unusual), pressing his tummy and acting like he's uncomfortable.

It is difficult to measure poo output because I clean every morning and he did poo yesterday. But so far none this morning.

Please spare a thought for him because I am worried sick.

I have just got home.

They have kept him in to give him fluids, Zantac, pain relief.

She sensed some gas and what she thinks is the beginning of stasis. She said there was nothing that noticeable in the mouth.

She asked me if he had eaten anything unusual - I said no.

He was absolutely terrified and was so dopey - very unusual for him. He has been to the vets before and is always very bouncy.

Praying he will be okay. Will call later for an update.
 
So very worrying when they become poorly - Poor Bunny :( sending recover quick ((((((((vibes)))))))) :love::love::love:

Xxx
 
I have just had an update from the vet.

She said after the pain relief set in he began eating which is obviously good. She noted that the gas seems to have reduced.

However she did say that she can feel what she thinks could possibly be a liver abscess. She is not 100% sure as she would want to sedate and scan to check. She said that if this 'thing' doesn't go down in size she will want to investigate further. She told me a liver abscess can be fatal :cry: :cry:

She is keeping a close eye on him and will update me again later.

I can't believe this is happening to him.
