Quick update for everybun- Sunday 6pm.
Apologies for my copied link from nap91- I had typed an addition but I am without pc (long story- getting it fixed) so am using my phone and I’m not completely proficient with using it.
Ok, back to Henry. Things went kind of weird late last night as o/h reported an apparent upturn in Henry and his appetite. I was in bed so found out this morning. Henry had seemingly bucked up and even found room for a cranberry.
Now, we had a bit of a disagreement last night cause Henry has made up his mind that he does not like fibreplex and is just refusing it point blank and spitting it out. Not very helpful to say the least and even tho I’d made a bunny burrito, Henry wriggled out of that and I’ve got some nice wounds down my chest that Freddy Kruger would be proud of inflicting!
This morning Henry actively looked for breakfast with Lillian leading the charge. I have predominantly given them dried bought foliage of various components and Henry is enjoying those although Lillian enjoys them more. Henry has eaten some greens and pellets and freely eats regularly today. Usually Lillian starts eating then Henry follows. I have checked him underneath and thus far he remains dry (my primary worry) and no evidence of diahorrea either. Both have had some garden time and Henry has eaten some grass. I’ve steered him away from cardboard. Henry has spent time grooming Lillian and seems a little brighter.
We’ll keep on with the sulfatrim for the week to fend off any possible infection and continue to monitor him as best I can.
We’re only 10 mins from the vet and I’ve got them on speed dial. In fact I’m so well in, I’ve got my own seat there now!!
In answer to nap91 and also joey and boo, yes I wholeheartedly agree that deep down, rabbits (and all animals) know when we are trying to help them. Whilst they don’t always understand what they have to go thro, I do believe that they can sense what we try to do to help, and in doing so, I believe we earn their trust.
Thank you everybun again for all your vibes and support.
Craig and Henry xx
