Our bunny had to get her spleen removed on December 21st as it was massively enlarged with part of it twisted and causing her a load of pain. She was very skinny and slightly anaemic too.
A week after the op, she seemed to look perkier and we thought all was going to be fine. Then about 3 weeks after, she still hadn't fully recovered and started to drag her legs along and couldn't hop at all.
We took her back to the vet and were told we should administer a 28 day course of Pancur (because of suspected E-cuniculi or lymphoma as mentioned by the vet) and continue with the Ranitidine 3x a day and Loxicom once a day. She has improved where she is no longer dragging her back legs along, but is very limited in her movement and sometimes we have to force her to move so her legs don't seize up completely. Most of the time she is just lying there.
Despite us feeding her more and her appetite seeming great, she is still skinny and her spine is very obvious.
She won't drink from a bottle and doesn't really touch the bowl either. We have to dunk herbs and greens into the bowl to persuade her to take in more liquid.
She pees and poops where she is sitting and her bum is stinky and dirty. We've been trying to get her cleaned up as best as we can. It's sad because she is usually a VERY clean bun. Her droppings are still tiny.
Seriously at a loss of how to move forward - just really hate seeing her like this! Any thoughts? Thanks!

Well I don't have an advice, but I understand how frustrated you must be. My rabbit Lucy used to be very poorly after her dentals, it's good she's eating though. Anesthesia can do a lot of bad things, my rabbit started to self mutilate her, because she wasn't feeling her leg after the surgery. She was an elder bun, so it was hard to put her through such things. We had to PTS her because she devoloped serious complications after her surgery.
