Massive Vibes Needed Please =[ U/D Sapphire and Jamie now together - and happy to be

[prettylupin]

Oh dear god, thanks for this link. I do hope your bunnies are okay

Sapphire is eating, she's just not eating hay at all and she has lost loads of weight and condition in only a few days.

Think staying in the vet is the best thing for her, just hope I can get her back with Jamie when she comes back. She IS coming back, I have to keep positive xx

Lots of vibes for Sapphire. x

If the vets are quiet tonight and have a spare cage beside Sapphires perhaps Jamie could go along and be in the cage beside her?
Another option would be to see if they have a dog crate free and pop her in a carry cage inside the dog crate and have Jamie free in the crate itself - so her droppings etc will still be isolated from his? Just some ideas. If not, just make sure you take him with you when you go to collect her, the journey back together should help.

They were pretty busy today, so I'll have to go with the carrier idea and just hope to god they re-bond.

Thanks for the suggestion and for everyones vibes, we really appreciate them. xx

My vets are SO good!! They've phoned me with updates twice..30 minutes before I'e been told to ring them, can't complain on service.

Update:-

Sapphire is eating pellets and fresh food still, but they're having to syringe her water as they're wanting to avoid putting her on a drip at the moment. She has produced loads of poo's but she still has the mass in her stomach Granted it isn't as doughy but it's still there, so obviously this is my vets concern.

She's going to be staying in again today so they can continue to monitor her, they're waiting for a fax from my last vets who did all the tests on Sapphire to look at anything they may have missed. The vet asked for my permission to conduct a skull x-ray to see if there is a root problem with her molars, and they may also conduct another x-ray on her stomach to see if they can see anything.

The vet can't rule out the chance she may have a tumor, and that's what they are absolutely fearing...so am I

I think they're going to do the x-rays and, if nothing shows, they're going to have to open her up I've told them that if they find a tumor or anything sinister that I wouldn't want her bringing back The hardest decision I've made, but I don't think it would be fair to put her through treatment for cancer.

Fingers crossed this isn't a tumor

Continuing to send vibes, and thinking of you. xx

More vibes for Sapphire. I have everything crossed that it's not a tumour but if it is, you will be making a very selfless decision and I am sure Sapphire would thank you for it. xx

Now I really don't know what to do about Sapphire.

I've spoken to the vet who have told me they are happy to discharge her based on the fact she has eaten and pooped loads since her admission last night...she as even eaten some hay.

They are happy with the blood tests ran by my previous vets, and all they showed up was that she was fighting an infection (snuffles) which cleared up. The vet told me she wont put her under G.A at the moment while she's obviously not well because of worries she wouldn't make it...surely if she wouldn't make it it's because she is unwell, and that's the right thing? I don't know how to feel about it all.

This has happened three times this year - she has unexplainably lost weight and each time the vet hasn't been able to find the cause!! I don't know what I'm meant to say to the vets but I kind of feel like I'm being fobbed off and one morning I am going to find that Sapphire has passed on

The rabbits I go to are used by all the rescues in North Leeds... so I know it's reputable, and It's the small animal specialist qualified vet who is dealing with Sapphire.

I can't get her until tomorrow as I've not been in Leeds today and I can't get there before 6pm, but I've to ring the vets back and I just don't know what to say, what to suggest or anything

I want answers, I don't expect a cure just an answer as to why this keeps happening and only to her.

Lou xx

 

[Debster]

I'm really sorry you're going through this, must be incredibly worrying. If your vets themselves are unsure of what is wrong, could you speak to them about a referral to a rabbit specialist? Sorry I don't have anything more useful to suggest. Is Sapphire happy in herself? Lots of vibes for her still xxx

 

[BinkyBun]

Sorry you're going through this. I hope you do get some answers somehow soon. Sending vibes xxx

 

[loobie_lou]

Well I've phoned the vets this morning for an update, she's still acting as though she's happy - eating pellets, fresh vege, drinking plenty of water and occasionally nibbling on some hay and pooing loads!!

However, the mass in her stomach has not shifted...it still feels doughy to feel. Now the vet either thinks she still has poo which needs to shift :? or, because of how it feels, that it's something else.

I think they're going to let me bring her home today and wait until her blood results come back that they have sent off this morning.

The vets going to ring me this afternoon and discuss what happens next, so positive vibes still needed please and re-bonding vibes too if she comes home.

xx

 

[basirascal]

Vibes for Sapphire. I hope she is feeling better soon. Sorry I can offer no advice on re-bonding.

 

[loobie_lou]

Well, what a turn of events.

The specialist vet has read through the treatment she received from the last vets and isn't happy with the results and the fact they weren't probed and she was merely discharged.

So he wants to keep Sapphire in until next week when they have the blood results back, and has said I can take Jamie in and they will re-bond them so she isn't on her own, and he isn't on his own here.

She's still on gut stimulant medication because the mass although it has softened slightly it hasn't moved on reduced in size, so they're preferring her to be there so they can still give her the meds.

Going to be gutted that they are both going to be at the vets all weekend but I think at this stage it's the best thing to do.

[Debster]

Poor you, will be very strange not having them around I bet! Really hope they can do something for her, great that Jamie is going to be with her though, I am sure that will help Sapphire a lot xx

It's horrible, I keep going outside to see if they're okay and when I've fed them this evening they're not there... I hate it =[ But it's for the best.

I hope Jamie helps xx

 

[esupi]

Hey that's good progress though - they're really trying to get to the bottom of this for you at least, and now you don't have to worry about the broken bond either!

That's very true Sharon. I'm going to ring the vets soon to see if they have re-bonded okay. Shall update then xx

 

[loobie_lou]

Hmm, I have no idea what they're doing now. They're taking a urine sample from Jamie before they put them together :? Yet Jamie is perfectly fine!!

I can just envisage the vet nurse who is working tonight putting them together and the bond will have broken and all hell will break loose I'm now starting to think I shouldn't have taken Jamie in

 

[BinkyBun]

I know it must be so hard being without your buns. Try not to worry they are in the best care now to help her get better. Sending vibes for a healed Saphire and easy re-bond with Jamie. x

Thank you I know they're in the best place, I just hope they can find out what's wrong with her. I've not heard anything back from the vets, and they will have been reintroduced by now, so I can only assume all is well. They were moving them in to the cat section of the surgery as they had no one staying over, so they can have a bigger enclosure together.
