I've just got back from my vet with Furby. I noticed he wasn't eating much yesterday and this morning found last night's supper was untouched. I tried to tempt him with mint, strawberry leaves and bread (my standard 'if a bun ignores this we are in trouble' treat) and he wasn't interested at all.
My vet isn't open on a Sunday so I had to go in as an emergency. They are decorating and it was chaos there. He checked Furby's teeth which looked OK. It's only about a month since his dental. He tried to give Furby some paste but he flatly refused to swallow it.
He's had an antibiotic injection and some fluids under the skin. I've got some critical care to syringe feed him once an hour and some paste to try and get into him too. I asked about pain relief but the vet doesn't think he is in any pain - just very fed-up.
I've got some pineapple juice and left it in a bowl. If he doesn't drink it I will syringe feed some.
I have to take him back before surgery tomorrow. I'm not working today fortunately but am tomorrow so they may have to keep him in and put him on a drip but didn't want to stress him out today and I was happy to bring him home and I've cancelled my plans so I can stay with him all day and night.
I would like to bring him indoors - as feeding him every hour tonight will be a nightmare as he is an outdoor bun - and I want him to have some company as he is deaf which must make him feel more isolated. I don't have any heating on and my house is very cold but I am worried about the difference in temperature.
My overdraft now has an overdraft Wish I'd insured Furby but with eight buns and nine cats the monthly premium would be unbelievable. I just hope that my vet will let me pay some next month if the bill gets much higher as I had to pay nearly £70 on Friday for Pippa and she is booked in for a spay this Friday.
Any spare vibes for Furby would be really appreciated. He is one of the Lymington buns and so has had a tough life so far. He's been neutered and I am starting to look for a wifebun for him. I so want him to be OK and have lots of time with me just being a bunny and doing bunny things. He is an adorable fur child.
He will hate me syringe feeding him but it has to be done
