I went to feed Woody this morning and he was clearly unwell. He was hunched up - no interest in food, shaking, not moving.

Rushed him to the vets where I was told he needed an emergency dental (second this year). He is there now, op not till about 4 though :cry:

BAD BAD DAY.

Poor woody.....poor you! :oops: I know how much he means to you......I've told everyone at the vets that he's my friends rabbit and he's precious so he needs to be classed as a VIR (very important rabbit ;))

I know they will do all they can for him.......I truly hope he pulls through. I'm in tomorrow so if he's still in, I'll pop in to give him some gentle nose rubs :love:

That's so sweet!

Sending lots of vibes and nose rubs to woody! Hope he is home soon xx
 
Poor Woody :( I live in fear of this happening to mine, it's so upsetting that so many bunnies struggle with their teeth :( it would be great if there was a one off simple treatment :(

I hope woody feels better soon and that the dental goes well

Thank you Kel - you are such a sweetheart :love: He will be pleased to hear he is a VIR!!

And thank you everyone for you well wishes. I will keep this thread updated.
 
:(:(:(

I just called to see how things are going ...

He is refusing to eat anything despite the gut-stimulants and pain-relief. They are very worried about him. Apparently he is sat hunched - not happy at all.

They asked me about all his favourite foods which I told them.

They are syringe feeding him because they want his gut to get moving before the dental later.

Freaking out. :cry::cry::cry:

Oh god.......syringe feeding isn't the nicest thought BUT it saved willows life, he wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that, let's hope it starts everything going

Come in woody......RU is counting on you to pull through :wave:
 
Sending lots and lots of vibes for Woody. Really hope he takes the syringe food well and perks him up a bit xxx
 
Woody is home :thumb: he came home late last night.

His dental went well. He stayed inside last night and wasn't really interested in food. Gradually, he is eating a little more (bit of herbs, some strawberry plant tops - no pellets yet). He has produced some poops and LOTS of wee!!
 
Glad it went well and sounds as if he if he is heading in the right direction with his eating. Keep the munching up Woody!
