Calathea
Young Bun
Not long been back from the vets with Alfie. I wanted him checked over after Freya's death and he needed his claws clipping anyway so took him in this evening. Both good and bad news.
His teeth are fine, he's put on weight, eyes and ears fine. However, the vet says that he feels a bit skinny and wants me to monitor his weight. She mentioned putting him on a course of Lapizole because of the possibility of Freya's illness being EC but because of how stressed he got during the last course we're putting that off for now. Is there an 'edible' version? Something that he can eat rather than we shove down his throat? What about the PAncur paste? Can I give him a 28 day course of that for EC? We could get his blood tested for EC but the nearly £100 for the test.
Also, she couldn't find his testicles at all and his penis is a slightly abnormal shape. She said not to worry for now but to bring him back in three months time to see if they've appeared.
I wanted this visit to put my mind at rest but it hasn't, I'm so worried and stressed. Is this what owning rabbits is always like?
