Flopsy is in stasis (still)

Oh, poor Flopsy. :( I'm so sorry. Since she's with a rabbit specialist now, it sounds like she's in the best of hands, so I hope they can get her back to feeling better. I'll be sending her lots of get-better vibes.

Thanks all. Flopsy has been admitted overnight to the small animals hospital :cry:

She’s very constipated. She’s going to get a scan. I will know more tomorrow x

I’m so glad she is being looked over properly, I know you’ll be very worried though. She’s in the best place and hopefully will be home with you soon and back to full health soon x
 
Hi all,

Flopsy is impacted but doesn’t have a blockage. Unfortunately she has a kidney infection :cry:

She’s on antibiotics and staying in the hospital for now :(

Poor girl. Hopefully now she is on the correct treatment she will improve x
 
Hi Silflay,

I’m sorry I didn’t see your message earlier. I was feeling so down that I didn’t even check the forum.

I’m so sorry you lost your bunny :cry:

You were right Flopsy does have an infection and is on IV fluids and on antibiotics xx
 
I'm really sorry Flopsy is so poorly. 😔

It's really hard when they have to stay in at the hospital. I understand it's really difficult to be positive at the moment but please try to hold on to the fact she is getting the best possible care with the specialists. It's also good that they have pinpointed what the issues are so she can get the right treatment. It's just a horribly anxious time waiting for her to start responding to the treatment.

Thank you so much, it’s been such a sad time. I’m glad flopsy has been checked in and is getting her course of antibiotics!! I know how stressful it is but I’m sure she will be fine. Little Marigold didn’t get put on her antibiotics as fast as your little one so hopefully Flopsy will be back to her old self in no time. Please keep us updated xx
 
Sorry to hear that Flopsy has an infection, but pleased that she is being looked after in the hospital, hard though that is. Sending lots of vibes that she will be home soon xx
 
Thank you all for your lovely messages.

Flopsy is responding well to treatment and she is being weaned off the injectable pain relief. I hope she will be home by the weekend :love:
 
That's so good to hear that she's responding well to treatment. That's wonderful! I hope she'll be able to come home soon, like you're hoping. Sending her lots more recovery vibes. :love:
 
I'm really pleased Flopsy is responding well to the treatment and I hope she is able to come home soon.

I suspect that the pain relief they're giving her is likely to be an opiate such as vetergesic. It can make some bunnies very dopey, so Flopsy may seem very tired and lethargic until it's fully out of her system.

I just thought I'd give you a heads up as a lot of vets don't warn owners about it and it can cause a lot of panic. I remember once crying on the bus on the way home from visiting my sick bun at the hospital as she had been so unresponsive that I was convinced she was dying. I didn't find out until much later that it was the vetergesic that had caused her to be like that.
 
That’s great news!! Hopefully she will be home with you soon to binky and zoom and sploot and chomp :D
