My Bun is not well...

OK, Update on whats been happening...
I have been trying to bond my buns for nearly a year without success, last week my rabbit shed blew over in the wind and since then they have bonded beautifully BUT..

Dippy my girl lop has been gradually losing weight over the past few weeks and now hasnt stopped crying for about 3 days

The vet has said her teeth need burring but not so badly that that would explain her discomfort, and there are no obvious masses in her tummy but on thursday she is due to go in and have teeth done and be spayed. She is 6 (ish) and i know nothing of her history as i found her last year being attacked by a dog.

Obviously there is a risk with the GA, and with her age but the vet is concerned about either cancer or more possibly an infection due to her many many many phantom pregnancies each month..

Please please wish her well as my heart will break if the worst happens..

Also many many thanks to freakles as the advice and time she has spent has been so very good, and i even rang my vets as suggested by her and Rocky will be going with Dippy when she goes in so at least she will have some comfort in him

Thinking of her and good luck.

Very best wishes

Best wishes to your bun.

Awww good luck old girl

Fingers crossed for you. Furby's being done on Thursday as well, so I'll remember to send some vibes your way then.

I really hope she's ok and it's just her teeth causing her problems rather than anything else.

Good luck

thanks all and good luck to furby too!

She is just tucking into a nice banana ball!

Fingers crossed for the little un.x

Dippy was readmitted this morning.

Gut Stasis, she wouldnt eat or drink at all when i got her home so this morning i took her back and she will be put on antibiotics and painkillers and if she is no better tomorrow they will start critical care.

I feel so awful

Dont feel awful you did what was best in her interests..entire does be they old or not are the stroppiest creatures on earht and make bonding nye on impossible!!
i hate the vets when they say that..oh its hardly anything..not realy doing to their teeth..grrrrrr

they said that bout bif the first time then when she was under they discovered her tongue undernetah was badly ulcerated and infected!
this time they said the same..funny tho once shed recovered she was soo hungry!!

gi stasis is a common occurrence now with poor ole bif..she reacts verybadly to the ga after her xray i was sure i was going to lose her.

critical cares great had it years ago with kibbles..but then you have to move asap to recovery for the fibre..and theres always baby food as an emergency and to mix with green slop! rehyrdation is essental too..some latcade from the vets or kids dioralyte is best. I also syringe in an isotonic slution of proexin bio lapis and not just for the 5 days but until bunny is really perked up.
also try avi pro powder once shes eating her slop too and on bun food after shes back on her feet. it helps with sticky butt if theres no more pain or no more stress..not bifs strong point

i aam keeping fingers crossed for you 100% sending bunny vibes..xx

its amazing how terrible i feel, then you have people saying its only a rabbit

Ignore them! I have had people laugh at me for spending £300 getting a broken leg fixed, just to be told "you could buy 20 more rabbits for that". :evil:

Its horrible, shes my litle lady and i would pay whatever it cost to make her better, I have no idea what her chances are or how long they will continue with the critical care and i have to wait until monday, i really hate leaving her.. and Rocky is missing her terribly!

I hope she pulls through for you and rocky. Sending lot of good vibes X

well my girl is back home! shes still not 100%, squidgy poos but she is eating well, She goes back on wednesday for her spay check up so fingers crossed by then she will much much better!
Rocky is happy now too, he is eating again :? daft bunny!

On the whole she is doing really well, still has to put weight on but we can sort that out! vet said she had been through a tough time, so they are both in the house for the time being until i feel she is 100% again! they know how to worry you dont they?? :wink:
