She has had two seizures since about 11pm :cry: Second one worse than first

Had diazepam spansule and is settled now, but very flat, not eating

Will update when I can, we suspect EC so has already been started on fenbendazole without waiting for blood test confirmation.

Will update when I can


:cry:

I just saw this. Poor girlie. It must have been so scary for both of you.
I am glad she is stable and am sending vibes she will improve quickly. Hugs.
 
Oh, poor Aoife :( I'm sorry, Jane. Seizures are always terrifying. I'll keep you both in my thoughts and hope the medicine helps her quickly. Lots of gentle hugs coming your way. xxxxx
 
Thanks everyone. Our Vet wants me to just keep Aoife as quiet as possible today and in a darkened environment. She is choosing to remain in her tunnel, which is dark. She is eating anything I offer her and has had poo output too. I am also offering her water, which she is accepting. It’s fortunate that she is being so co-operative at the moment as due to a recent severe deterioration in my spinal condition I would struggle to pick up a 5.2kg Rabbit.
 
I'm pleased that she's feeling more secure in her tunnel and also that she's being co-operative. Well done lovely Aoife :love:
 
Aoife has been sleeping most of the time. But she will eat any food that I offer her and she is pooping. I have been advised to give her some Metacam to address any inflammation that might be going on in her CNS. Also, her chronic eye problem has really flared up, despite being on her usual treatment. Her poor eyes look so sore :cry: Hopefully the Metacam will help a little to reduce some of the discomfort x
 
Poor Aoife :( I hope the Metacam takes away some of the discomfort from her poorly eyes.
 
Sending you both a lot more positive vibes. It is good she is still eating and pooping. Sorry her eyes are sore again. Hugs.
 
Ah bless her. So glad that she is still eating and pooing. Hope her meds bring much needed relief. Vibes to you both.
