Lea - Molly's mum
Warren Scout
Shall we do good news first?
Molly and Alfie are home and the bonding has gone superbly - they are very much in love!
And Alfie has settled in a treat - still a bit unsure about coming up to me and Dan but he is exploring and chilling and doing great
Bad news is that when we took Molly to the vets with suspected EC (due to incontinence) he found a large hard lump in her tummy. She is three years old and has been spayed for over two years so tumours weren't the first thought but when we explained that she was still eating and pooping like a champion and when the vet couldn't manipulate the lump it looked unlikely to be impacted guts.
He gave us some liquid paraffin to try and loosen the lump as we were all hoping that it was impacted guts but when we took her to the vets this morning it was still as solid.
Molly and Alfie are on lapizole - just in case, Molly is now on oral Baytril - just in case it's a cyst (unlikely though due to how hard lump is, but might help if she has a bladder infection), she is also on fuciderm for her sore hocks and they both had to have a treatment with spot-on because Alfie has mites!! :shock::shock:
Molly doesn't seem to be in pain, she is acting normally eating/drinking/pooping etc.. so far now it's fingers crossed that the vet is wrong and it is an abscess that can be sorted with the antibiotics, but we don't want to get our hopes up too much. He wants to re-asses the situation in one month.
Three days ago we thought we had a perfectly healthy rabbit with slightly sore hocks, now we are keeping our fingers crossed and making Molly's life as comfortable and hapy as possible and spending lots of time with her.
Lea (and OH Dan). xxx
P.S> Please let us know if anyone has had similar experiences and send lots of vibes for Molly.
