So this morning when I came downstairs I instantly knew something was up with Parker...she normally comes to me for her food (loves her food!) but she didn't and wouldn't eat at all. She also seemed to be moving around different.... Almost like really low and rolling about a little. So straight to the vets and they said it looked like she had gut stasis which looked to be caused by her teeth (food not chewed enough so not digested properly). Apparently her teeth were growing at an angle which was likely cause of her pain.
So I guess I have to accept she is always going to have dental problems (this will be her third dental) and she's 18 months so likely every six months she'll need something.
Vet did seem to make a passing comment to suggest that if the cost would be too much I should consider PTS but there's no way I could do this unless it affected Parker's quality of life :0(
I spoke to the vet this evening and apparently Parker is doing really well now, is eating and pooing well and is a lot brighter so will hopefully have her dental tomorrow.
I was in such a panic this morning, it's only been 6 weeks since I lost Poppy but I have been trying to stay positive and not think the worst is going to happen cos it did to Poppy.
I love my bunnies so much but it's such heartache when they are poorly and it's heartbreaking to hear all the sad stories on here and to realise how fragile rabbits can be. But I guess on the flip side, they do bring so much joy to us. I just wish they weren't so complex at times! xx
