Wise Old Thumper
I've had to drive around the streets to find a wifi router to connect to, can't stay long as I look suspicious on my laptop in my car outsise someones house.
I left work early to check on my buns, such a good job I did as I think if it had been another ten - twenty minutes she would of been dead. I came in at 5.30 to find Sharon lying on her side gasping for breath she was breathing out of her mouth loud. I got some water and covered her face and head but he couldn't even lift her head off the the floor and she couldn't breath, so I grabbed her, stuck her in a carrier and rushed her to the vets, luckily Mel was working.
She was still breathing bad, then when Mel lifted her out poo started coming out of her and white stuff out her nose. Mel took her Tempreture and it was 42, which she said was extremely high for a rabbit. Mel got a bowl of cold water and we just put her in and covered her in water, she was given fluid and injected with antibiotics. I was told she is very poorly and to expect the worse, although she had started to perk up at the vets. I've brought her home, I've got to keep her cool, syringe fluids into her and away from other buns, I've got biolapis and baytrill for her. She is a very old bunny and she's seen David (the other vet) last week, because I was concerned about her weight lose and she had her cylap. David checked her and said although she has lost weight she is heathy. Mel said she may have an infection and the stress of the hot weather as bought it out. Considering it was looking unlikely she would last the night, she has just eaten food out of my hand and is sitting up and holding her head up by herself, she was just a floppy bun earlier. She is pooing normally now and the stuff has stopped coming out of her nose that seemed like a freak incident that happene at the vets. She is on her own in my spare room with two fans on her and considering what she look like earlier she seems like a different bunny. Mel had istened o her chest and although she was gasping there wasn't any conjestion, so Mel thought it was unlikly to be snuffles, although she said don't put her with Ozzy and keep her away from other buns untill whatever the white stuff was has been sorted.
I've let Celia know at Kirby she said she was with her at least three years, she has been with me about a year (maybe a little longer) and when she went into rescue her sister died almost straight away, so they could of been old already, although her age is unknown. Celia was ace and offered to pay but I'd already covered the bill anyway, it never occured to me to ring her when I found her as all I could think if was getting her to the vets.
Considering she was so poorly it's after nine and she still with us so she is a little fighter. Could it of just bthe weather?
Any advice thoughts would be nice, I will try and get out in the car again in a bit and see if anyones repliedI can't get on at home because omething is blocking the wifi.
