Vibes for Elmo please... He's passed away :'(

I knew something wasn't right last night, he just didn't look happy and wasn't taking food I gave him some metacam and critical care around midnight in the hope he'd be sorted by morning (they do have these little 'scares' every now and again) but I've gone in this morning and he's huddled up facing a corner and is refusing food

I'm so scared. He recently had an obstruction removed, so if it's that again I don't know whether they can operate again. We've been trimming his long fur quite short to minimise any risk, as well as brushing him and the girls.

My OH has just popped out to see if he can get kale to tempt him with, but I think we're going to need to take him to the vets again.

He was so happy yesterday, he's been sunbathing all weekend

Please send my fluffy little man some vibes, he's so wonderful and we need him to get better xxxx

Sending get better vibes for Elmo. So worrying isn't it.

Sending you get better quickly vibes Elmo, hope you get on ok at the vets this morning xxxxxx

Poor lad Has he poo'd ? Given his history personally I'd get him to the Vets straight away this morning. I really would not wait any longer. Sending millions of vibes for him xx

Sending lots of vibes for him xx

Sending loads of vibes for Elmo.

I really hope the vet can help him today ..... good luck x

Thank you as always everyone

We took him first thing this morning, with the girls. His weight is slightly down and he has some minor spurs, so the vet suggested a dental and the usual emeprid, metacam (bearing in mind the dose he's already had) and baytril.

He had a look at the girls and said they're both due a dental too, even though they're fine at the moment, so they're all together.

However, we just got home and the vet phoned to say Elmo has high blood glucose again They're going to start him on some fluids and gut motility and do an X-ray to see what's going on. His stomach didn't feel tight and was malleable, and he had gut sounds.

We might have to opt to operate again, but we'll cross that bridge if we come to it.

Sitting here trying to keep it together, but failing miserably! x

Oh and yes he's done a couple of poos that we've seen, which is encouraging xxx

Hope he feels better soon. Sending lots of vibes for Elmo xx

.. Lots more vibes from me too.. Hope he picks up. Xxxx

Topping up vibes here too

Lots of get better vibes being sent to Elmo from me and my furries.

Oh no, poor Elmo. I hope he responds to treatment so that surgery isn't necessary.

Sending lots of vibes for Elmo and a hug for you. xx

Oh poor Elmo Sending him lots of vibes xx

Thank you everyone xxx

The girls are home after having dentals, and they're both eating little bits and seem fairly bright.

Elmo's blood glucose went obscenely high before the op, I actually don't even want to write the number down here it was so unbelievable. He has come through surgery and is recovering. He had another obstruction that they have worked through his system. He also had a dental.

We desperately need him to eat and poop now.

The vet said to my OH earlier "we don't see very many of these cases make it to the operating theatre at all, in fact I've only had two so far this year", not realising that those two cases were Elmo and Chin!!

I am tearing myself apart wondering if we're doing something wrong with their care. We think Elmo is an angora mix, as his fur is incredibly thick and fine and long, so we keep it trimmed short and have started to brush him to get rid of any loose bits. The girls have short hair and keep themselves in good shape. They eat copious amounts of hay and have some pellets in the evening, as well as grass. We thought it might have been Elmo's fur that caused the obstruction before, as he could develop small mats that he could potentially have nibbled off and swallowed. We've been REALLY on top of this though and he's not had any in a long time. They've always been so healthy and we've not changed anything, so I'm confused and a bit lost. Please don't think I'm a bad bunny mum, I love them wholeheartedly and would do anything for them. We feel they have a great set up and life. It's so strange that after 5.5 years they've started to have some issues

Poop and eat and poop and eat Elmo xxx

You sound a brilliant bunny mummy, your buns are very lucky to have you. Glad the Girls are home and ok after their dentals. Sending loads of eating and pooing vibes for Elmo xxxxx

Also, Illy has been eating hay and Chinook has been eating dried dandelion, so we have progress! Let's hope Elmo is also progressing in the vets xxx

Oh bless. Come on Elmo!!

Glad that your girls are doing OK. Sending lots and lots of vibes for Elmo, I hope he recovers very soon. xx
