i tried to post his yesterday as i wanted someone to hold my hand
anyhoo i'm going to post it now and the update in one go so's you know whats been happening incase i need some help/advice later!
yesterday.....
my linden is not a happy bunny
he still isnt eating much at all and is still doing tiny poos.
he has had 2 courses of prepulsid which have improved things a little but he is now losing weight that he doesnt really have to lose.
we went back to the vets today and although he still has a small spur the vet doesnt think it is enough to cause his lack of appetite.
the choice was a GA and a dental,or another course of prepulsid. the vet wasnt sure if the spur alone was enough to warrant the GA but we need to do something or he is going to be seriously ill.
si i decided to go ahead with the GA and have him neutered at the same time so he hopefully wont have to have another one soon.
he is staying the night at the vets as i have to work tomorrow and if i go in late i will have to stay late and i want to be there when he is recovering fron the op.
i feel really pants as i feel i'm putting him through all this and it might not be the reason he isnt eating, and if i'm wrong he might get even worse
and todays...
i just picked him up and he is reasonably perky, he ate a pile of dandelions for the vet last night but has eaten nothing since he came round from the op.
they have syringe fed him and i have to continue with it till he starts eating on his own.
the neutering went smoothly and they have done his teeth, though they said that once he was under and they were able to have a good look they werent too bad, no soreness anywhere :?
anyone have any ideas? if its not his teeth causing him to have no appetite what else could it be?
please keep all fingers and paws crossed for my little guy!
if anyone has any ideas or suggestions for me i would be very greatfull!
on the upside after being quoted between £85 and £120 just for the dental work, i was very pleased when the total bill for the dental work, meds, neutering and an overnight stay came to £96.
bless my vet
i am soooooo pleased it has taken my workplace so long to sort out our payrise, asn now i get the backpay on the 20th which will cover this bill entirely, and the vets are happy to wait till payday for their pennies, phew!
i am going to put up my greenhouse this weekend so i can start growing some plants and herbs to sell at boot sales to help towards the bills :roll:
