We have had to rush Scooby to our vets tonight. He wasn't his normal self, he went very lethargic and was flopped out on his side. It looked like he was just relaxing, but he kept fidgeting and changing position. He then did a wee on the floor and couldn't be bothered to move so just lay down in it. We knew something definitely wasn't right with him, so off to the vets we went.
He has an impacted stomach
and has had to stay in hospital. Minnie is with him. I wasn't expecting it to be his stomach, he just wasn't behaving like a rabbit with a painful stomach. I'm so glad that we took him in straight away and didn't wait until the morning.
My vet has just phoned to say they've done a blood glucose test which was the high end of normal range, so they are not suspecting an obstruction and are holding off doing an X-ray for the moment. His hydration levels are OK. He is being treated with motility drugs, plus pain relief and fluids. Our vets do their own out of hours, it is such a relief to see a vet you know and trust in an emergency.
It is going to be a worrying night for me.
