:wave: hope pringle is oding better..please let him be ok.
my bif is alittle girl with ongoing probs with soft poo inflamming her gut..so therefore no blockage showing up on xray..they wanted to do an unltrasound on ehr whilst holding her down for a hour or two..then she stopped eating propelry but they had just done a dental...so it couldnt be that. the vet said she had suspected cervical cancer but never did any bloodwork or poo analysis etc.....didnt find out bout panacur till that week as it was also rabbit week and bertie had his free check and i was told bout panacur for the first time:shock:
i was told to bring bif back if she wasnt improving to be pts
however luckily i was on here then...i went to another recommended vet from here for a second opinion..and i got one..and then went to another practice after that..and it was confimred after bloodwork that bif tested positive 10% for EC so i had to do her and bertie for a whole month at least instead of the dosage usually given. like the second opinion vet..fibreplex plus a month of bio lapis was recommended and when bifs mouth was checked it was found her teeth had grown huge spurs..um nope its the fact the vets who wanted her pts had done the wrong side:shock:
so petra did both sides of bifs teeth and shes only had 2 since then and that was about 18 months ago min.
bifs guts were inflammed not a blockage.its why it didnt show up on x rays.
her probs yes theres diet probs and the odd dental..BUT hers is mainly stress...post traumatic stress disorder in buny form....from her being so badly treated before being rescued..her months in the rescue..moving in with us..bonding with oscar then 6 months later being found with his dead body.
bonding with bertie..arrival of the kiitens we took in....our house getting flooded 48hrs later/all the fuss over it till the next summer...bonding failure with willow as a trio....bonding as a forusome fialure.....then xmas sucessful bonding foursome then a few weeks later it failed..she was very ill..mote infested..tummy probs again..so more metacloperamide again! fibreplex bio lapis etc.....
its a reoccurring problem with her and its why i have to try and alleviate stress as much as poss as well as modify ehr diet all the time.
i stopped the ss and changed her to allen and page natural pellets....and lowered the amount and got timmothy hay second cut the green one.
shes also trying some bunny nature sensitive food from hay experst site as a treat..its for dental buns.it makes htem chew more and the hay is the main diet of course with dried grass also..normal outside grass gives her tummy ache so its not something she has daily at all.
please please DONT not ask or question...if i had odne that..bif would have dead 18 months ago!
it may be very different of course but i do read so many similaraties to my little girlie.....
dental probs....stress..diet all affects it...funny bif gets loads of long fibre..still her tums is dodgy but not like it was..the pain was horrific for ehr and she was sooo aggressive because of it..kept attacking other bun....
please please dp not take every vets word as gospel if you know or think you know diff....or suspect diff......
some vets should never be listened to as far as buns are concerned.....
all i hope is that your bunny makes it xxx
