Hugo's There
Wise Old Thumper
Thought it would be nice to pop on and give a Barney update as he has been with us 3 months now :shock:
As you may have read previously it turned out he had a nasty urine infection on arrival. Once we found an antibiotic that did not upset his appetite this cleared up quickly. Barney came to us due to his gut issues but from day one we have never seen any evidence of a gut problem. We slowly reduced the huge amount of medication he was on and he has now been completely medication free for weeks with no set backs at all. He can also eat all the foods our other rabbits eat including ss pellets with no problems. So we now have a completely happy and healthy rabbit
So Barney would now like to announce that he has a new friend It is early days but so far so good! He and Hallie met nearly two weeks ago and seem to have settled very quickly. Hallie came to us as she had repeated facial abscesses. We thought her days were seriously numbered but miraculously she seems to have made a great recovery. Both are very lively and happy bunnies so make a good couple.
They moved into their permanent accommodation yesterday - a playhouse in its own aviary. At the moment they are still restricted to just the playhouse but we will slowly build up their space over the next week. Hopefully its all onwards and upwards for these two now
