Hi,
I've not really been on since losing my beautiful girly pepper.
But once again am hoping you amazing guys can help me out
We recently adopted a bonded pair of neutered girls in October. When we picked them up one had a runny eye, they had been to the vets with the bunny & had been told that her runny eye was due to her been so hairy (she's a lionhead) they gave us eye drops that she had been prescribed and we took her home.
A couple days after bringing them home and letting them settle i took them to my vets because I was concerned that she had a blocked tear duct and knew this could be related to teeth and long molar roots. My vet confirmed my suspicions that she needed dental work. So we did a dental on her and xrayed her skull at the same time and turns out she had long molar roots.
At the start of the year i noticed that she was really thin and looked as if she had lost a lot of weight. We took her to the vets again, her weight was down to 1.37kg ! It was previously 1.63kg she also prescribed more eye drops as her runny eye just never seems to stop and we had to revisit in 2 weeks to weigh her. She's now down to 1.35kg, when you pet her you can feel every single bone in her spine, she is just wasting away to nothing right in front of me. I don't know what to do. We have added in porridge, junior nuggets and parsnips etc to her usual diet of hay greens and nuggets but she is still extremely thin. The vet had took blood to send away to the lab and got the results today, she says the bloods indicate that she is starving :shock: Ive to separate her from her partner to keep a closer eye on her. I know that she has been eating as I watch them at feeding time and it's her partner that has to steal food :lol: & we feed her porridge seprate from her partner.
I'm just at a loss. I have no idea what to do with her. She eats like a horse so I have no idea why her bloods indicate that she is starving !
