Daisy is ill

just went out to put buns in their indoor runs for the night and found Daisy lying down breathing very fast. she feels cold and just flops when I've picked her up.....have made her drink some water dripping it in her mouth but dont know what to do :( she has done this a couple of times before for no obvious reason and recovered a couple of hours later but i'm very worried..she is normally a very lively character and it's horrible to see her like this...if no improvement in half an hour I think emergency vet time :cry:
 
oh my, I would take her to the vet as soon as you can. And even if it goes away, I would still take her in to see what is causing this and what you can do to prevent this! I'll keep my fingers crossed for the little dear!!
((((hugs))))
 
Awwwww fingers crossed Jill - we'll all be thinking of you and sending healing vibes for your precious bunster - keep us posted when you can.
 
aaawww dont know what could have caused this. Has she eaten anything or done any poops? Could it be bloat..altho u say she has done it before. Keep topping her up with water and see if u can tempt her with some hay or grass. Hope she is feeling better soon
 
Good news..she's ok :D she improved very slowly over a couple of hours, then, when I next checked her, she was hopping about and throwing her dish wondering where her supper had got to!
I dont know if she eats something such as a buttercup or other weed that upsets her. I try to be careful about where they graze and none of the others have ever been ill. It's very scary when she does it. I'm so relieved and thanks for all your concern and good wishes x
 
Oh thank goodness for that :) Well, I can sleep a bit better now that I know she is fine :)
Still, something must be going on now and again for this to happen. Could she be getting gas attacks do you think?
Just glad to hear that she is back to normal :D
