Busy Health Check Morning for my 5 Bunnies

[InspectorMorse]

Our Vet has just left after a marathon 5 Bunny Health Check and Vaccination Clinic.

Aoife- Follicular Conjunctivitis well controlled, recent intentional weight loss now means she’s a healthy weight
Vaccine done

Endeavour- Significant muscle wastage due to arthritis. Muscle atrophy along spine. Medication regime discussed and adjusted. Sore Hocks under control. Vaccine given.

Dara- All fine, vaccine given

John-Joe - Hock abscess resolved, chronic Pododermatitis under control, vaccine given

Roisin - Vaccine not due til July. Chronic respiratory problems stable. Probably asthmatic. To continue with nebulising and only give abx if active infection becomes apparent. Would be considered high risk should a GA ever be needed. So fingers crossed that won’t happen.





Me- Sundays drama re worsening of my spinal problem likely to be a ruptured disc in L spine !!

I’m glad the bunnies health checks went largely well by the sound of it, they are lucky to have you and your vet giving them such good care.

What about you, are you able to have treatment for your ruptured disc?

No, it’s all part of the conditions I have that basically mean my spine is knackered. Surgery is definitely not an option, 3 different Neurosurgeons have told me that.

You had a busy morning! You are doing great caring for the bunnies, though I am sorry you likely have a ruptured disc.
Is there a brace or support you can use on your spine?

 

[Omi]

I bet they are all muttering among themselves about the disturbance to their morning :lol: Well done to Aoife for losing the weight Tui emphathises. But gold star goes to little Dara

I do have a back brace, but it actually makes the pain worse due to Arachnoiditis. Anything touching my back, even soft fabric hurts.

Oh well done bunnies :thumb: sorry about your back Jane, I can't imagine the pain.

 

[MimzMum]

You're so lucky to have such a wonderful vet, Jane. I envy you. I wish I could borrow her to have a look at Jenna.

I'm sorry about you having a ruptured disc. I'm well acquainted with the agony that causes, but to have it compound your AA...it doesn't bear thinking about. And of course everything hurts worse in bad weather. I hope you can find some relief from your discomfort this evening.

The bunnies sound well. I'm sad to hear Endeavour is also having spinal problems. I know it's been going on for awhile. What kind of pain therapy and maintenance is he on now?

How's Morse doing? Did he get a once over as well?

Sending hugs and stay well vibes to you all. xxxxx

 

[joey&boo]

Although only Dara passed her MOT with no faults all your bunnies seem to be responding well to treatment well done all

Sorry to hear about your back though

How awful for you. Sending more gentle hugs.

Thank you. My Vet has a degenerative spinal problem too, so she is really clued up on it all as well as the medical knowledge. I have far more trust in her than any Doctor !!

Just seen this. Bertie hopes the bunnies all had a treat after their examinations.

Dara is the bunny who was very poorly as a kit? Wonderful that she has thrived and a tribute to your expert care.

So sorry you have such awful chronic pain to deal with. I greatly admire your endurance.

Dara did have a tricky start. She is very brachycephalic so she does have some sneezing, watery nasal discharge issues as a result. But thankfully at the moment she is doing well. Hope that’s not tempted fate !
