Clementine isn't eating

[Graciee]

Glad to hear that she’s started to nibble some food. Am I right in thinking she has some arthritis as a result of the orthopaedic surgery she had a few years ago ? If so it might be this is giving her more discomfort now, or she jarred herself aggravating the arthritis so an episode of more acute pain occurred. When Endeavour’s arthritic pain was in a flare up he would stop eating. Upping his doses of meloxicam and paracetamol for a few days helped. Sometimes he needed Tramadol too.He didn’t have to stay on high doses long term, just to get him through a flare up. If Clem’ does have arthritis I can highly recommend laser therapy. I bought one which I am also able to use on myself

Yea she does, oh I'll have to have a look at that. Is it easy to do?

I used it every day during a flare, every 2-3 days as maintenance x

I'm really sorry Clementine hasn't been well, and that the vet visit was so unhelpful. I'm glad she's been eating some veggies! It does sound like it's her moult that's bothering her, with those strung-together poops. The water in her veggies will help with that, at least. Sending her lots of vibes.

Also, if you look into laser therapy for her, do keep in mind that the professional devices vets use are a lot stronger and more effective than at-home devices, as the professional ones can reach higher wavelengths.

Ah okay I'll have a Google if anyone does that around here for buns too, thanks for letting me know. How frequently do you do the vet device ones?

It depends, really. Casper gets it every two weeks, and Sophie did, too, this summer, but right now Sophie's getting it once a week, because the cold has been bothering her, and this past winter she needed it twice a week, so I just follow her lead when she shows she's in pain. Casper might be fine with once a month, too, but since he's at the vets anyway for Sophie's treatment I just keep it at once every two weeks. My vet starts with twice a week for the first week (or first two weeks? I can't remember), then moves to once a week, and then twice a month and then once a month, depending on how the bunny responds, so it would depend on Clementine, I think.

Oh that's good news, keep it going Clementine xx

 

[InspectorMorse]

come on Clementine, get yourself 100% better ASAP

It can take time to recover from stasis. Is she still on pain and motility drugs?

I'm glad she's started to eat a bit more hay. I'll keep sending her lots of vibes.

 

[MiniC]

Glad Clementine is improving, I hope she's got a bit more appetite back today x

Sending loads of vibes for Clementine. I hope she continues to improve.
