Harry and Poppy are now very loved up but it took alot to get them to that stage! Harry wasn't interested in his pellets when I went out there this afternoon so I took him to the vets. Now I have a rabbit savvy vet nearby but their opening hours are very limited, so in these sort of circumstances I normally go to a local vet that I've used for years with various animals.
They saved Jack when he was very poorly with stasis so I do have some confidence in them. They give painkillers, baytril and a gut stimulant.
But they also tell me every time to syringe pineapple juice, I spoke to Jacks Jane when Jack was ill and she didn't recommend it. They wanted me to do it this time too and in fact stressed that it was very important :?
I haven't done it and have just used the science recovery they gave me.
He also wanted me to split Harry and Poppy up so I could keep an eye on if he poo'd. I told him I wasn't willing to do that and why and he said as long as I can tell if Harry's been pooing then he doesn't mind.
The thing is I've got a follow up appointment at 10.20am, and he mentioned if things were still bad enough they might want to take him in for the day. So how on earth would I tell him I don't want Harry to have pineapple juice and that the pair of them HAVE to stay together??? :?
Even if it doesn't come to it tomorrow I'd love some suggestions for future use.
I always feel like a little girl in front of the headmistress or something when I'm at the vets, which doesn't help
