Up date on Custard.
First conversation with the vet was at lunch time today he's been eating grass and drinking, seems a little brighter but his temperature is still high!
The vet seems pleased that he is eating by his self and drinking but still not eating with the gusto he should! so they have decided to keep him in another 24hrs. They want to see more of an improvement before he goes anywhere. He told me he has a bacterial infection not sure where he said he had it, will ask more when i next speak to him so with that and the lack of weight on him he is a poorly bunny!
Second conversation with the vet went much better, She was pleased with custard he had been eating more this afternoon and producing some good poosShe said he looked much livelier and his temperature was back to normal. I think fingers crossed we are over the worst! They are going to watch him over night and give me a call first thing after there rounds. So if he has a good night then maybe they will let me bring him home. Im sure they will advise me on all the other issues he has, like teeth, claws, he's really dirty ears and the huge amount of weight he needs to put on, but at the moment I'm so pleased he is on the mend.

I've been waiting all day for news on Custard. Fingers crossed he will carry on improving. How terrible of the breeder to let him get into such a state. Some people are wicked and ignorant. Let's hope when he comes home and the weather improves he can go out in the sunshine to build up some vitamin D. Let's hope he builds up some strength. Thank you for taking him in. Good luck and keep us posted.

update.
I had to have Custard put to sleep this afternoon! He deteriorated over night, struggled to breath, so after a lot of oxygen, inhalers and all the drugs they gave him he lost the fight! They xrayed his lungs which were not in a good way, he had phenumonia. I'm so sad, not been able to stop crying this afternoon, he was such a sweetheart and i wish that i could have had more time with him. He's going to be cremated and scattered in my garden. Thank you for all your well wishes.

So sorry
Poor little Custard. You did all you could to save him but for him it was too late. I am ferocily angry after the breeder who did not even bother to have him to the vet, this is cruauty to animals. He must close down his nasty business. RIP little Custard, and sleep well for ever
