Hi everyone,
I have decided to start a new thread as the title of the last one doesn't really reflect her problems.
Libby, my lovely 7 year old wonderful bun, has been ill for a month.
It started with spot weeing and being wet underneath but developed into straining and pain when producing poos.
Libby has had ultrasound, x-rays and full blood/urine profile and all came back clear.
However both her gut issues and the wetness have not improved.
Her gut is like an engine that starts and stops and is only working because of the medication - high dose Metacam split over day, ranitidine and Metoclopramide and regular critical care. She goes between being bright, eating well and pain free and then plummets into pain and eating/gut slow down particularly in the early evening - so everyday I feel I am holding off stasis just. it seems to me that her pain comes on immediately after eating as things are moving through her stomach?
My vet is considering Cisapride and getting back to me re a referral for a second opinion.
If anyone has any further suggestions I would appreciate it as although Libby is having good spells - she is struggling.
Thanks,
Nicki
