Eating his pellets like a champ! 💪

Hi all, just to update this post - we went ahead with baileys operation which included a partial canal ablation & bulla osteotomy. Today he’s come home and doing so well. He has a slightly droopy right side which we’re hoping is temporary otherwise doing great! He’s eating well and meds wise is...

Thank you so much everyone! We’ve taken everything into consideration, from his personality to wanting him Pain free. He’s been on daily meds the majority of his life and due to him having sub-cut fluids for the last 2 years, his skin is quite tough and he wouldn’t tolerate penicillin...

Thank you so much everyone and thank you bunnybuddy, yes it was my little girl Honey. I really don’t have any luck with rabbits! :( Bailey has been with us 6 years now and truly is my baby. Over the last 3 years we’ve continued to deal with re-occurring bladder stones and has been on Metacam...

Hi all, it’s been quite a while since I’ve been on here so hope you don’t mind me messaging. Bailey has been to the vets today where we did a head CT. This has shown the worst possible news.. full on middle ear infection which has already eaten away at his bone. The vets feel this is far too...

Thanks Scrappy and everyone else :love: I feel so sorry for him, he's my absolute world and it breaks my heart seeing him uncomfortable. We do have some vetbed left over from when we had Harvey, but Bailey was digging and wouldn't stay on it, so I can only assume he didn't like the feel of it...

Thanks everyone for all your help and advice, really appreciated! Jane - I know exactly what you mean and we we're thinking the same. Well we did already have some cream we'd been using for his sore hocks last year, so we actually used some of that last night and I must say it did help.. and...

Hi jane, no sorry I probably should have mentioned that. It was taken out on Thursday evening as it was beginning to get blocked up. He’s passing clear wee now which is great, it’s just this constant dribbling I can’t cope with and super worried about. He’s back at the vets tomorrow for a check...

Thank you so much, I can honestly say this week has been the worst week ever and we just want him better more than anything xx

Thanks so much! Diet wise, he’s already on a very low calcium diet. He has 5 pellets daily which are Timothy hay based and don’t include any Alfafa. We need these to help keep weight on as were limited to what else we can give him. Herbs/veg wise he only has coriander, basil and parsnip. His...

Hi, sorry it’s been a while since I last posted.. but I’m hoping someone can please help? Bailey was rushed in for emergency surgery on Tuesday to remove a bladder stone which had got lodged in his urethra. He was scheduled for surgery this week anyway but the stone had moved and got lodged in...

Yes, urine can differ in colour but when you look at that tube, there is clearly sediment in there as you can see it caught on the sides of the tube, and I wouldn't be surprised if their are blood particles present - (you can see some of the drops are light and dark, and our vets have always...

Wow, being completely honest I’d be worried there is blood present in there.. especially if it’s coming out in drips, that colour and amount was just like bailey when he was passing blood before we found out he had stones! Has she had an x-ray after the sludge was removed? And are you sure she...

Hi Graciee, Just wanted to see how clementine is doing, and sorry to hear she’s not yet fully recovered. When we get urine samples, we use the back of a puppy pad which is a smooth surface, out of a new packet which won’t allow the urine to absorb, we then use a brand new syringe out of a...

Oh I see, Sorry.. would be better if I actually read things properly! Yeah we just covered the floor in puppy pads, but he gradually just stopped and started doing smaller patches of wees, although their was blood present for a little while too. His willy was bright red the poor little mite...
